Students will think pair share what is a bridge and what is its purpose?
Students will watch a YouTube video on the 25 most impressive bridges in the world. Host a discussion on what you noticed about them.
Students will draw their prototype
Students will construct their bridges.
Students will do a reflection paper on what there thinking behind their bridges was before, during, and after completion.
