Originally, Lego was made from what material?

legos were originally made out of wood during the depression without the tubes inside. these were added later to make the bricks more stable.

Plastic. It goes in easier.

Architecture has progressed alot. Before, we used to live in houses that fell down easily everything used to be made out of stuff that would fall down from a small hurricane....and we have buildings that are super tall yet can stand up from a hurricane and can now withstand fire (special ceramics for that) electricity too, helped make this come true.

Typically when a material is refered to as strong, you are refering to its mechanical property can 'Tensile Strength' - How much force you can pull it with before it breaks.\n\nIt terms of what makes one material strong compared to another, is related to many factors - On a microscopic level, basically how easy it is for discontinuities in the material to move.\n\nWith reference to your concrete example, the reason concrete of a skyscraper is strong, primary is because it is steel reinforced; steel bars are embeded inside the concrete - The combination of steel and concrete is a good one because steel is very strong in tension (which concrete is not) but concrete is very good in compression.\n\nWhen you combine different materials like this, the resulting material is refered to as a composite. Composites presently are the best structural materials that we have; examples are fiberglass/polyester and  carbon/epoxy. Carbon/epoxy is extremely popular for aerospace structures because of its high strength and low weight, as well as its durability. When composites first appeared, they were very expensive and limited to really hi-tech applications like aerospace, but today you can find them everywhere - golf club shafts are commonly carbon/epoxy for example.

Metal.  Wood and plastic can crack.

Plastic originates from oil. There are many types of plastic that have different properties for different given situations. First the crude oil and other chemicals are reacted in a reaction tank of some sort and "ploymerized" and peletized. Then this resin is sent to a manufacturer that will take this material and mold it. The material typically comes in pellet form or powder. The molding process will take the material and melt it in an extruder where it conveys through a screw and barrel. It can either be extruded or injection molded. Extrusion is limited to only a constant profile whereas injection molding can create more complex parts. There are however many other processes that plastics can undergo. Such as thermoforming, blown film extrusion, rotomolding, the list goes on...

In 1855, Charles Goodyear designed and built the first vulcanized rubber soccer balls (footballs).  \nMade of vulcanized rubber panels glued at the seams ( almost like the basketball balls we know today).

some cans are made of more than one material, for example steel coated in aluminum or zinc.  2 component cans are generally thicker than traditional cans

I worked in a research and development lab building electronic prototype production machinery - trust me - I used a calculator and a pencil much more than any of the other more conventional tools.\nI now work as a general contractor - and, once again, I'm using math all the time extensively to compute materials needed and materials cost as well as the actual building plans.\n\nGreat story on your link. Good for him!

We would build a jumbo cart that could hold many kids and put lawnmower wheels on it or bigger wheels if we could find it and a bunch of us kids would hop on and some would take turns pushing it down the hill....it had a steering wheel of course -taken from a scrap car...and reflectors for that matter. Later on we learned how to put lights on it hooked up to a car battery. We built tree houses and my dad helped us run the wires to have electricity (we didn't have water though)lol We played a lot of ball games and if we didn't have a ball handy we would just use a 500ml juice box rinsed out and squashed.... condensed milk cans attached to a string made for a nice racket if you walked it down a bumpy rocky unpaved street...steel drums made for good 'pan' drums and I can play quite nicely on a good set of pots and pans thank you very much :-) I'm a girl but I was the biggest tomboy ever...I always thought guy things were more fun and toy trucks etc were pretty easy to build. (I designed and made a working car engine for a full size car at 16) Today kids are stuck in front of video games and don't use their imagination or get physical exercise nearly as much as we did. I don't know what intellivision is and I've heard of Atari but never played it-granted I live in a different country from you and also grew up in another country where there was no Atari etc.

I had a similar assignment when I was in school. I used food items on cardboard. Spaghetti - endoplasmic reticulum, peppercorns, ribosomes, pepperoni - nucleus, olive - nucleolus, hot dog - mitochondria, and so on. I put them all con cardboard. keep it simple, be creative, and have fun!

Well, I'll just take a guess.  Synthetic textiles are petroleum-based or made from some other non-plant product.  They are essentially fibers of plastic such as polyester and nylon.

Styrofoam is made of (drumroll, please) polystyrene. For about as much information as you could possibly want on polystyrene, check out the Polystyrene Packaging Council. There, you'll find general facts, production information, tips on recycling, and articles trumpeting polystyrene's low impact on the environment. \n\nPolystyrene Packaging Council:\nhttp://www.polystyrene.org/\n\n\nStyrofoam ® is a  Dow Chemical Co. trademarked form of  polystyrene foam insulation, introduced in the U.S. in 1954. Styrofoam® is a trademarked name, the real name of the product is foamed polystyrene. \n\nRay McIntire invented Styrofoam for the Dow Chemical Co.. McIntire said his invention of foamed polystyrene was accidental. His invention came as he was trying to find a flexible electrical insulator around the time of World War II. Polystyrene, which already had been invented, was a good insulator but too brittle. McIntire tried to make a new rubber-like polymer by combining styrene with isobutylene, a volatile liquid, under pressure. The result was a foam polystyrene with bubble, 30 times lighter than regular polystyrene. source The Detroit News \n\nhttp://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/blpolystyrene.htm

the answer is organic ... things that are organic are made from once living things.... vote me for best answer :) hehe jk you dont have to. hope i helped
