Bridges span both history and culture. This kit comes with all the materials students will need to build an ancient Roman arch using "stone" blocks they mold themselves, a modern "steel" truss composed of only a few plastic I-beams and gussets, and a slender, graceful suspension bridge over a yard long. Students learn how different materials effect bridge strength. Projects promote not just geometry, physics, technology, math, and general science, but history, teamwork, and aesthetics as well. Includes: building and casting materials, river landscape, paints, paintbrush, painting guide, and a 48-page architecture guide.
