Bridge building: introduction to physical science









Students were given only playdough and toothpicks to build a bridge.  Each group had 15 minutes to plan and construct their bridge.  We then read an article about how certain bridges are destroyed.  We watched a video and then planned how we would destroy a bridge if we had one to destroy.  It was really a great thinking activity!  It was so fun to see their minds trying to wrap around how to build with only 2 items for supplies!
