{Building Bridges}

We had so much fun with our Bridge Unit! We learned the definition of bridges and why they were built. We learned the history of bridges from the Primitive People, to the Roman Empire, to the modern nineteenth century bridges. We also learned about the five major types of bridges (beam, cantilever, truss, arch, and suspension), moveable bridges, and famous bridges. We ended our unit with building bridges of our own!
