Bridges STEM Challenge for Block Center

Add this bridge building STEM challenge set to your block center. Having bridges from around the world leads to discussions about different people and places.  Geography lessons can easily spring from these discussions, as can basic engineering concepts.   This set includes: – 30 full-page images of real world bridges – Bridges flip-book with 30 color images of bridges from around the world -“My Bridge Building Plan” template with project instructions -Make Your Own Bridge Book (3 ways) -4 versions of recording pages for finished bridges -6 class book cover options Learn more about the book of structures here. This was a great addition to my blocks center during our Creative Curriculum Roads Study. My kiddos liked looking at the pictures of the different bridges and making their own. Jennifer C. via TpT I purchased this because my 3/4 yr olds wanted to learn about bridges. I loved that I didn’t have to curate as many bridges for them to see. Love the variety of beam, cable-tied, suspension, truss, arch, and even a cantilever! You even had pedestrian, train, and a bascule bridge my kiddos could point to the types when I named them. I did add a few others like a walk way, and a couple of more moveable showing them moved. Lynn S. via TpT I love this resource for our curriculum theme about Giants People Make that was really lacking in its own resources. The students LOVED the photographs of all the different bridges and their unique designs. Samantha M. via TpT
