This hands-on demonstration illustrated how different materials respond to different gravitational forces and their effects on flexural strength. Students engaged in experiments using models and simple testing setups to simulate the impacts of gravitational variations on material behavior. The activity allowed participants to compare how certain materials deform, crack, or maintain their structural integrity. By observing these differences, students gained a clearer understanding of how researchers design and optimize materials for use in extreme environments, such as space or high-stress industrial applications.
