Description
Use hands-on collaborative labs, vocabulary, and three-part cards to learn about types of bridges, tension, compression, loads, dissipation, buckling, and more. Great way to experience the engineering design process and have a rich STEAM experience. This comprehensive set of materials can be used as a complete unit or broken into separate activities. Includes two and three part term, image, and definition cards, vocabulary, two hands-on labs, and supplemental handouts. Can be used over a period of one or two weeks, as stations, or broken into single lessons / activities.

NGSSMS-ETS1-2
Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
NGSS3-5-ETS1-3
Plan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved.
NGSSMS-ETS1-4
Develop a model to generate data for iterative testing and modification of a proposed object, tool, or process such that an optimal design can be achieved.
NGSS3-5-ETS1-1
Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or a want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost.
NGSSMS-ETS1-1
Define the criteria and constraints of a design problem with sufficient precision to ensure a successful solution, taking into account relevant scientific principles and potential impacts on people and the natural environment that may limit possible solutions.
