This kit is unique in that you can build it with either a truss or hipped roof. Whichever roof style is selected, students learn about:

• Dimensioning the lumber to the scale of real lumber used in construction.
• Reading house plan drawings.
• Using construction techniques in accordance with the International Building Code.
• Construction terminology.
• Attention to detail.
•  

The framing kit is for a home featuring a standard, two-bedroom layout.

Pitsco Education Large Structures Package helps younger students learn about basic structures and easily handle the materials. The giant, fuzzy, and colorful pipe cleaners in this pack are not only fun to use but also easy to handle for small hands. A class of students can each learn to make two basic shapes and then combine materials to create bigger, more complex structures.

Comes with 120 large assorted-color pipe cleaners, 180 AP Rocket Tubes (12" long, .518 ID, .544 OD), and instructions for building a cube and tetrahedron.

Safe and simple to use like the Structure Tester, the Structures Testing Instrument offers more testing options and a streamlined design.

It’s time to test your structures with the EZ Shake Table! Students build structures, place them on the table, and use a crank to do the shaking themselves. It’s a fun way to learn physical science, Earth science, building geometry, and many other concepts while also having fun shaking the structures.
