Bridges Unit




            During the past couple of months students in the fifth/sixth grades have participated in a cooperative unit on bridges.  We learned about the various bridge types, explored building bridges out of paper, and finally constructed wooden truss bridges.  During the final bridge construction, each team was given a budget to work with, had to create a blueprint of their bridge design, and then construct the bridge.  Late in January, students were able to test their bridges.  Below are a few photos from our day of testing.
