Engineer It! Bridge Projects

Engineer It! Bridge Projects is part of The Engineer It! series for budding civil engineers or any other kids that like to build and possibly, destroy popsicle stick, cardboard and clay structures. How cool is that?

The book opens with descriptions of several types of bridges, their uses and parts. The next section is the fun part – a list of possible materials and directions for five bridges that can be made with household items. The directions are clear with several accompanying photos to illustrate steps. Each bridge type has some extra information in boxes, ranging from added history to the physics of what makes that bridge work so well.

This is a wonderful addition to the STEAM classroom. Materials are readily available and inexpensive. It will lead to some amazing bridges and associated learning. Buy it! Highly Recommended.

About Candy Ranney

Candy is an elementary school librarian in Shelton, WA at the school where she was a student (so many years ago!). Her library is unique in that she brings her background and love of biology to her students in many ways. Not only does she have an awesome selection of science books; she also has a beaver, bobcat and mink sitting on her shelves and a variety of jarred specimens for her students to study. When she's not in the library, she is taking care of her baby trees on her tree farm and hanging out with her family and many pets.
