Kindergarten Builds Their Own Bridge Designs

After learning about bridges and building 3 different types of bridges, the kindergarteners imagined their own bridge idea, planned it, made a list of materials and were ready to build. The groups came up to our "ClassDepot" to get what they needed and then they were off to build. After the building was done, each bridge had to go through two tests: A stability test...could a wind-up car move safely across the bridge. A Strength test...how many nuts could a cup hold in the center of the bridge. After they recorded the results of the tests, they had to reflect on how they would make the bridge stronger or more stable.

Here's some of what they made.
