Grade 3 Building Bridges Enrichment


Grade 3 students in Mrs. Normington’s “Building Bridges” enrichment class at the Carlton M. Viveiros Elementary School are designing bridges to explore the civil engineering topics of force, balance, and stability.  Students have investigated the pushes and pulls (forces) that act on structures and how these forces act on different bridge types, such as beam bridges or arch bridges.  Given materials such as copy paper, index cards, craft sticks, string, and drinking straws, students then plan, design, and build their own bridges that must pass both a stability and a strength test.
