MIT freshman Ellen Cappo demonstrates a column buckling exhibit. By loading the white bucket on the right the same load is transmitted to each of the three columns. The exhibit shows the relationship between column weight and height, and explains why a tree can only grow so tall. Professor Lorna Gibson taught a freshman seminar in which students put together this and other interactive exhibits on ...
