Bridge Building

Grade/Class: Grade 7 Science

Context: Students lear about structures in Science class.

Learning:  The grade 7 classes completed a bridge building challenge to see which groups could build the strongest bridge out of popsicle sticks. This culminated a structures unit where the students learned about structural components, external forces and different types of bridges. The bridges were tested at STEAM night, with the winning bridge holding more than 100 lbs!
