I teach general physics at the high school level, and have the opportunity to involve our students in a school-wide construction project (building a house). It sounds like an excellent idea, but I need some help. Can anyone suggest sources for me to read dealing with the practical application of physics to house building? Does anyone have suggestions/experience to share? My students would team with construction students (under the direction of an experienced contractor) to help with specific questions - perhaps calculating load bearing in roof design, or? The goal is to bridge the gap between academic and vocational students. Thank you. Tom troper@eis.calstate.edu --
