The first metal bridges and their Internet simulations
| Prequisites: | Basic knowledge of webpage design concepts |
| Objectives: | To study more advanced web page behaviours in connection with websites containing simulations of technical experiments |
| Description: | A study of Ironbridge, the first metal bridge (in the West Midlands, 1779), and the websites dedicated to it. |
 |
SCIENCE ON THE WEB |
| A study of the so-called 'Industrial Revolution' and its representation on the web | |
- Eighteenth-century technology
A summary of new developments
- Metal architecture: the Iron Bridge
 |
WEB SIMULATIONS OF TECHNICAL EXPERIMENTS |
| We can use Dynamic HTML to model technical experiments. In the CATI webpage on Ironbridge, you will have two examples: forms with calculations, and mobile elements. | |
- Forms with calculations
This is the section of the CATI website 'Designing the bridge': simulations of different possible calculations
- Mobile elements
We can visualise the movement of a machine, in an animation, or move a part of the machine ourselves to see the result. This is simulation;it can be done through animations or through the use of coordinates
