What is the challenge?
Students use the materials to build a bridge to span a specific gap. You determine the length of that gap. The resource also includes an alternate method of using a blueprint as part of the requirements.
What is your prep?
You will need some simple supplies along with this package: toothpicks and modeling clay (Play-doh). You will need to prepare bins of materials for students and copy the lab sheets.
The lesson guide provides:
- A materials list and then step-by-step procedures to follow to make this a great experience
- A page of Helpful Hints gives ideas of specific things to think about while using this package
- Two versions of lab sheets are provided (one with sample answers from students)
- 4 pages of photos will guide the use of the package
- A page of Extensions gives ideas of continuing the activity as a whole class or in your science/math centers.
- And this is just the beginning! A second option provided a Blueprint Version of this challenge using slightly different materials. Teacher directions and hints, a lab sheet, and photos are included.
- AND, scoring rubrics for both versions are included. These are not editable, however, all the other forms in this package are provided in an editable format!
What are teachers saying?
- "Your products are amazing! I truly appreciate your attention to detail. It will make incorporating this activity in my classroom such a smooth process.
- "I"ve been wanting to do this project for awhile, but have been looking for a way to make it the most effective. This made little prep for me and had so much student engagement!"
