Contractors Hired! - Building Bridges
Bridges have been around since the first tree fell across a stream of water
providing access across. Modern day bridges are important civil engineering structures, but students should understand how they have evolved over the civilizations before us as well as the applications of art, architecture, engineering, science, and mathematics that are used to reshape our environment and improve transportation. The design and construction of any item requires critical thinking and invaluable problem solving processes. The activities provided here include hands-on experiences, collaborative problem solving, and an integrated approach to STEAM, the process of scientific investigation, and literacy skills. |
