The Research Article
In the Bridge Project students worked individually to write a research-based article and then worked in teams to construct a bridge model. For the article, students selected and researched a bridge, gathering information on its design and construction. The article was to include photographs or scaled drawings, associated dates, an explanation of why the bridge was built, society's gains from the bridge, interesting facts, and a description of what engineers learned from the process of design and construction. Students gathered information through classroom study of physics principles and mathematical formulas, and used outside resources such as contractors and engineers. Students were responsible for determining how the concepts and information they gathered applied to the bridge they were researching.
