Bridge Project

Students will explore how engineers use triangles to construct safe, strong, stable structures.  Students will research bridges and create a brochure.  They will use models to explore ways to strengthen joints and test the strength of three dimensional models.  The students will take on the roles of architects and engineers to build a structurally stable bridge out of popsicle sticks that can support the weight of their textbook.  Students are to use their knowledge and understanding of bridges,  as well as the importance of triangles to construct a strong stable bridge.  The links below will assist you in your exploration!
