Bridge Building Activity

The students had a lesson on various types of bridges, exploring the concepts of forces and structural design. They were given popsicle sticks and glue to construct their chosen bridge type, ensuring it could withstand specific forces and weight. Additionally, they were tasked with building a model wind turbine with limited resources, aiming to generate voltage by harnessing the power of a box fan. These hands-on activities fostered an understanding of engineering principles and provided a practical application of their knowledge.
