Bridge Types and Forces

Bridging the Gaps - LessonStudents are presented with a brief history of bridges as they learn about the three main bridge types: beam, arch and suspension. They are introduced to two natural forces — tension and compression — common to all bridges and structures. Throughout history, and today, bridges are important for connecting people to resources, places and other people. Students become more aware of the variety and value of bridges around us in our everyday lives.

Robots may be constructed to take on human form but most robots are machines designed to perform a task with no regard to how they look.
