Concept 6 - Structure and Function

The video tutorial explores the concept of structure and function, illustrating how the form of an object is designed to fulfill its function. It uses examples like the human hand, a bicycle, and a wrench to demonstrate this relationship. The tutorial includes a bicycle drawing activity to highlight common misconceptions about structure and function. It outlines a teaching progression from elementary to high school, emphasizing the importance of understanding structure and function in science and engineering. The video also discusses complex systems, molecular structures, and phenomena investigation in high school education.
