Building Bridges: Math/ELA embedded STEM Lesson
The following lesson is an engineering design lesson, with the optional ELA or Math component. Students will use popsicle sticks to construct a Truss Bridge and/or an Arch Bridge. Students will compare the designs by adding weight using the metric system (grams). Students will also base the study off a book about the female engineer behind the Brooklyn Bridge. This will facilitate the discussion on why the strength of the bridge is so important, as well as how those from the past impact us today.
