Explore the science and engineering behind bridges with this hands-on study kit designed to take students beyond simply learning the names of different bridge types. Through engaging books, engineering projects, model building, and design challenges, students can explore how bridges are designed, how forces affect structures, and how engineers solve real-world problems.
Students will explore:
Different types of bridges and how they work
Structural engineering and bridge design
Forces, loads, tension, and compression
Engineering challenges involving bridges and tunnels
Building, testing, and improving bridge designs
Hands-on STEM and problem-solving activities
Includes:
Hold It Up: The Engineering Behind Bridges for Kids
Bridges and Tunnels: Investigate Feats of Engineering
Bridges!: With 25 Science Projects for Kids
Thames & Kosmos Structural Engineering: Bridges & Skyscrapers
Learning Resources STEM Explorers Bridge Builders
This would be a particularly fun study for a student who is fascinated by how bridges actually work and how engineers design and build them. 🌉
