Bridge Bundle: Create Weight-Bearing,Fixed, Movable and Truss Bridges with Paper

Explore the physics and design of bridge building with just paper, tape and scissors! The Bridge Bundle includes 4 project guides, 3 student worksheets, 7 Technique pages and 2 Reference pages for use with K-12 students. The 28-page Bundle includes the Weight-Bearing Bridge Experiment, an introductory activity that introduces paper as a strong building material. The Bundle also includes three open-ended project guides that focus on different approaches to creating fixed, movable (including drawbridges, swing & lift bridges) and truss bridges. Each activity teaches versatile paper shapes and techniques that empower students to design stable and functional models. 

Engineering with Paper project packets teach dozens of approaches to folding, cutting and taping paper for use in unlimited projects. 

No printer? No problem! You can follow all instructions on-screen with regular copy paper. 

If printing, we recommend printing your packet without scaling. Pages are sized to 8.5" x 11".
