Today we continued with our bridges study. Students finished their team study of one of the 6 types of bridges by creating an interactive quiz poster about their bridge. We'll revisit these throughout the unit. 

We then moved on to learning about the forces that affect bridges, specifically tension, compression, torsion, load, and shear. Students were able to start working through the MN DOT Bridge Up! interactive lessons and will continue on that work next week.

We will keep growing our background knowledge over the next couple weeks until students feel ready to tackle their final challenge of designing, budgeting for, building, and testing their own bridges!
