US Grade 4 - 7
Have you ever wondered how a bridge stays up? Bridges are designed by engineers and architects. Learners who wish to gain more understanding of how structures (bridges or buildings) work will enjoy this class. We will build a simple truss bridge structure which can be a jumping off point for further exploration of structures. In this class, we will start with the basics of physics to gain an understanding of the forces acting on a structure, and then apply that knowledge to bridge design....
Thin wooden popsicle sticks- about 100 pieces. Hot glue sticks and glue gun.
The topic of bridge failure may come up in conversation.
