Building Bridges 5AC
In this lesson, we researched how arches are used in bridges to disperse compression and tension. We were challenged to build a bridge with an arch which could withhold a small load of weight as well as to allow a vehicle to travel underneath.

Building bridges (5EL)
Building bridges 5AC
This term, our topic is ‘building bridges’. As a class, we learnt how bridges are constructed and supported using beams and pillars. We were given the challenge of creating our own bridge out of paper and card based upon our new knowledge. We even built a bridge that could hold the weight of a guitar!
