Beam Deflection & Cantilever Loads Phenomena-Based Lesson: The 9× Stiffer Edge-Turned Plank, The 8× Double-Span Sag & The 16× Cantilever Penalty Presentation | Introduction to Technology and Engineering | Grades 9–12

This is the student-facing slide presentation that introduces the phenomenon, walks the class through observations and driving questions, and frames the evidence students will use for the Phenomena-Based Lesson in the Introduction to Technology and Engineering (grades 9–12) chapter Beam Deflection & Cantilever Loads, built around the phenomenon The 9× Stiffer Edge-Turned Plank, The 8× Double-Span Sag & The 16× Cantilever Penalty. It is sold separately from the other two parts of the set.

Complete the set: Beam Deflection & Cantilever Loads Phenomena-Based Lesson: The 9× Stiffer Edge-Turned Plank, The 8× Double-Span Sag & The 16× Cantilever Penalty Teacher Discussion Guide; Beam Deflection & Cantilever Loads Phenomena-Based Lesson: The 9× Stiffer Edge-Turned Plank, The 8× Double-Span Sag & The 16× Cantilever Penalty Student Response Sheet.
