Science: Structures Form & Function















Working with 1 partner, select any 3 different structures of your choice i.e. toothbrush, shaver, car, building, table, chair, playscape, kitchen utensil, active grille shutters to improve aerodynamics, erogonomically designed furniture, baby sippy cup, water bottle flavor infuser, testarossa side rakes to cool engine etc. etc.

1.  Identify the main function (purpose/task) of the structure.

2.  Discuss if you think its function has determined its form/shape and makes the structure efficient and "smart" i.e. VW vending-machine-like car dispenser in Germany or do you think the form could be just pleasing to the eye and therefore a marketing gimmick to get your attention.
