Buildings and Bridges
Rising Grades 3 to 4
Complete building challenges and learn principles of engineering, architecture, and physics.
Students employ the “learn by doing” philosophy, using Lego blocks, Erector sets, K’NEX, unit blocks, and basic classroom supplies to fulfill challenge specifications through small-group design and trial-and-error.
Physics topics include material density, center of gravity, force diagrams, and geometry principles. Activities include weight and balance challenges, height competitions, and bridge design.
