Eureka! Science + Discovery Building Bridges Workshop
We can famously catch the ferry across the Mersey; we can also drive or use public transport. What we can’t do is walk or cycle, which would be the best options for the environment.
Science hasn’t found a way for us to walk on water (yet!!) but there is something we can do… build a footbridge! This is where your students come in – we want them to design a brand-new bridge across the Mersey!
This workshop introduce the forces that engineers have to overcome when designing bridges, the pros and cons of different styles of bridge, and a challenge to build your own bridge using our limited resources…. Can your bridge withstand our tests? Students will have to work together, solve problems, and think creatively to build their bridge.
Learning objectives:
Understand that engineers have to overcome the forces of compression and tension when designing and building bridges.
Engineers must consider a bridge’s intended use and load, environment, materials, and costs when designing and building.
Designing, building, and testing are key parts of the engineering process, and getting it wrong the first time is normal!
Recognise that they have to think like engineers when they work together, test, and make improvements to their designs.
