Bridge Building # 1

This term Joshua, Rebecca, and Caleb have been learning about materials and structures. Our main focus in this unit has been on bridges, so it only made sense that we create some of the bridges we have learned about. The first bridge we made was the Cable Stayed Bridge. Here are photos of the different steps we did to complete our bridge.

Rebecca put together the pieces of the road bed

 We painted the landscape

 Christine pitched in too

The boys studied the instructions so that we could get it just right.

 Rebecca got the 'cables' ready

 Caleb anchored the ends of the bridge on shore

Then it was time to attach the string cables

Yay, we did it!
