Science Sunday: What is a Truss?

Today's Science Sunday Theme: What is a Truss?
You may not notice them, but they can be spotted in many places. So what is a truss? This building activity answers that question by introducing concepts of force, shapes and their strength, and load, related to building the strongest type of structure – a Truss. Young engineers will build their own truss and test their load bearing capacity.

Drop in for hands-on science programs every second Sunday of the month. Best for ages 8-12. Generously sponsored by Con Edison
Two sessions, 11:30am  and 1:30pm
