Bridge the Gap
Source Institutions
Learners work in groups to construct bridges using stale marshmallows and toothpicks.
Build a Bridge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use recycled materials to build a bridge that holds as many potatoes as possible. They investigate weight, height, strength, and measurement as they seek design solutions.
Sticky Structures
Source Institutions
In this engineering/design/arts and crafts activity, learners design and build "platforms" or "bridges" that can hold weight, and test which glue makes the strongest structure.
Spaghetti Bridge
Source Institutions
Learners explore the field of civil engineering by making a bridge using spaghetti as their primary building material.
