Episode Overview
Feeling overwhelmed and in need of some order? Join Bill Nye the Science Guy as he delves into the fascinating world of structures. From bridges and buildings to everyday items like chairs and even our own bodies, structures play a crucial role in providing support and defining shapes. The design and materials used in a structure are dictated by its purpose and the strength required. Structures can either be under tension, like cables and ropes, or compression, like elephant legs and columns. Discover how the form of a structure is intricately linked to its function in this enlightening episode!
