Physics bridge challenge worksheet

Physics bridge building challenge worksheet. This is a fun activity for both students and teachers alike. Give students this worksheet, cellotape, scissors, and paper and watch them let out there inner engineer.

Have you ever walked, ridden your bike or driven in a car over a long bridge? Bridges must be sturdy enough to support the weight of many people and cars without collapsing. One important part of designing a bridge is selecting the right materials. Another is making sure those materials comprising it are shaped in a way to make them strongest. In this project you will build a simple “bridge” using materials you already have on hand—paper and tape! Can you build a miniature bridge that doesn’t collapse?
