1. Tour bridges around the world.

2. Learn about the physics that make bridges work.

3. Enhance research and investigation through the use of technology.

4. Look at materials and methods of bridge construction.

5. Use research, presentation, articulation and models to show how and why of chosen construction methods are best

Science

1. Students will understand and demonstrate the ideas of system, model, change, and scale in exploring scientific and technological matters.

2. Students will understand the relationship between force, mass, and the motion of objects.

Technology

3. Demonstrate positive social/ ethical behaviors when using technologies and practice responsible use of technology systems and software.

Select and use appropriate tools and technology resources to accomplish a variety of tasks and solve problems.

4. Collaborate with peers, experts, and others to contribute to a content-related knowledge base by using technology to compile, synthesize, produce and disseminate information, models, and other creative works.

Mathematics

5. Students will estimate and measure to a required degree of accuracy and precision by selecting and using appropriate units, tools, and technologies.

Social Studies

6. Students will understand social systems and structures and how these influence individuals.

Your first job is to research.

1. You need to learn about different bridge types.

2. Understand the importance that different bridges have had on London society (and others).

*Create in your student folder a document with notes on at least five different types of bridge structures, forces at work within them, and notes on society influence. Document real life examples,record important shapes within them. Show where the forces are at work. Create a section dedicated to London's bridges. How did they help/hurt London and/or effect London culture/society. These notes should be in your own words and organized neatly with titles and subtitles. You will need a cover sheet and page numbers.

*Document all websites and research material used. You will use these later to form your bibliography.One copy will be saved to your folder and another turned in. Helpful links are below.
