Summary

Using real bridges as their starting point, students will construct bridges out of straws and paperclips.

  1. First, students will analyze photos of bridges, looking for structural patterns.
  2. Next, they'll play with their materials: straight drinking straws and small paperclips.
  3. Finally, they'll create a blueprint and then build a model of a new bridge.
