The Official Website Of Joshua P Warren Paranormal Investigator Broadcaster and Author Engineering a Bridge This lesson will involve your students in geometry and measurement as they work as civil engineers to design and build their own bridge. OBJECTIVE Students will be able to: Identify how geometry affects bridge design and function and apply that knowledge to the design and construction of a bridge. MATERIALS Elmer's Foam board, Popsicle sticks, pipe cleaners, bendable rods, Elmer's Glue All, paper, pushpins, weightsEngineering a Bridge PDF SET UP AND PREPAREContent Introduction When engineers design a bridge, they must consider how the bridge will be used, how long and wide it should be, and how much weight it has to hold. Beam bridges are made of horizontal beams supported by piers at each end.Truss bridges are a combination of triangles made of steel. Essential Questions Use these essential questions to help guide students' thinking: How does geometry help engineers build bridges?
