In this activity, learners design, build and test a model suspension bridge for sturdiness and strength.

Play with your food while learning about engineering! Build a spaghetti bridge, then test its strength by piling on the marshmallows, raw spaghetti, raw linguine and coins.

Learners work in pairs to create three simple types of bridges, a beam bridge, an arch bridge, and a suspension bridge.

Build and test a scale model of a rainforest canopy walkway.

With two stacks of books and a few rolls of pennies, build two kinds of bridges--a beam span and an arch span--and see how much weight each of them can hold.

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.

In this activity, learners use things from the kitchen as building materials to explore how shapes contribute to the strength of different structures.

In this activity, learners explore how engineering has impacted the development of bridges over time, including innovative designs and the challenge of creating bridges that become landmarks for a cit

Learners explore the field of civil engineering by making a bridge using spaghetti as their primary building material.

In this activity, learners use design thinking to design and build their own bridge out of household materials including adhesives and/or connectors.

In this activity, learners explore work, forces, simple machines, and construction. This lesson guide includes simple ways to demonstrate these principles as well as hands-on activities.
