What are Shell structures?
The outside of a shell structure is a strong layer. Shell structures are mainly used to provide
They are mainly used to provide shelter and house objects and they don’t need as many materials to build.
Example of a shell structures
Coconuts: Coconuts outside is strong and hard. But the insides are hollow.
Seashells
For seashells, the shell on the outside is often strong and the inside is hollow.
What are solid structures
Solid structures are objects that are strong and don’t easily change their shape. They are made from materials that are sturdy and don’t easily break or bend.
examples of solid structures?
Some examples include:
cement patio stones, bridges, houses, and bricks.
what are frame structures
A frame structure is a structure that has a combination of horizontal beams and vertical columns that work together to hold up the weight of the building. One part isn’t able to hold a load on itself, but when all of the materials are put together they are stronger and is able to hold one another.
What are examples of frame sturctures?
some examples include Eiffel tower, ladder, bike and soccer net.
whats a complex structure
Complex structure is a structure with a combination of frame, solid, shell structure together in one structure.
what are examples of complex structures.
Tent ( its made of Frame and Shell structure. The frame structure is the poles that frame/ hold the tent and the Shell structure is the material used to protect the inside.
