One of the best topics for beginning to discuss home construction is the simple act of picking up a piece of lumber. Consider the following graph, excerpted from The Science of Home Construction from Schottenbauer Publishing.
- What is the force required to lift the plywood?
- Why is the force line jagged?
- Why is the initial force not 0?
Over 8,000 graphs from Schottenbauer Publishing provide additional real-life topics for student learning, including sports, transportation, construction, environment, music, entertainment/toys, and general physics.
