Children are born engineers who enjoy building and taking things apart and are fascinated with how things work. While investigating our Science Unit on Bridges, students do not currently have concrete materials for engineering and building bridges. K'Nex Building Bridge kits would allow children to build bridges as they study forces of push and pull. Creating and building bridges would give them the tactile supplies needed to gain knowledge about how specific bridge types withstand different forces and span different distances. They will learn about bridges from concepts as simple as a log lying over a creek, to the complex Golden Gate Bridge in the book, Pop's Bridge. Children will learn what a civil engineer does and as well as the differences in arch, beam and suspension bridges and the force they need to withstand, including compression (pushing) and tension (pulling). Through this, we learn that bridges connect places, but on a deeper level, they also connect people to one another.
