The study focuses on analyzing the construction of structures, with beams of different sizes, as well as the use of connectors at different angles, which together form some type of structure similar to some built reality in our environment or within our reach.
These types of structures can be programmed to generate motion, allowing for the analysis of various physical factors interacting with different parts of the structure. Tensile and compressive forces can be determined, depending on where the force cell is located. We work with PASCO Capstone software, which uses Bluetooth to capture real-time data captured by these sensors. Additionally, the PASCO software allows the servomotor to be programmed to generate motion in the assembled structure.
This type of study is innovative and applied to physics. Using creativity and agility, students can build different types of structures and then measure the tensile and compressive forces in different parts of the structure. It can also be programmed to generate movement in certain parts of the structure, according to the entered parameters.
The methodology used in the research has as its main focus the collection of information, in order to determine the percentage error of said value.
Our research concludes that by applying structured and innovative methodologies, students can also learn about physics-related topics by developing structures and measuring different values.
96.5% of students who developed the structures laboratory are satisfied with the methodology, and 29.8% of students rate the Structures Laboratory as interesting and creative.
After applying the Chi-square statistical test, it is concluded that there is no relationship between the degree programs studied by students and their level of satisfaction with structural assembly, which leads to the application of this new structural laboratory across all degree programs.
