Description
Engineering: Bridges
Workshop is a 50-minute
early-learner workshop
that combines literature
and engineering activities.
It is designed to build on
NGSS-based curricula.
NGSS: Next Generation Science Standards

Needs
We bring all materials
and equipment, including
a video projector and
screen. Access to 110-
volt electricity is required.

Space Requirements
The program can be set up in any room with at
least 20´ by 25´ of cleared floor area. All sessions
must be taught in the same room.

Goals: Story Book
The framing device of the
program is a story about
two friends who have an
engineering problem:
How to bridge a river that
separates them.

Goals: Prototyping
The children are then
challenged to prototype
simple bridges over our
model river using wood
blocks.

Goals: Testing and Redesign
Students can test their
bridges using models of
the characters in the
story and then improve
their designs.

Goals: Arch Bridges
The children learn how
arch bridges work and
the importance of the
shape of the keystone.

Finale
The characters in the
story eventually solve
their problem with an arch
bridge. The children get to
build one full-size…

Finale
…and test it themselves!

NGSS Connections• PreK-PS1-2: Investigate natural and human-made objects to
describe, compare, sort and classify objects based on observable
physical characteristics, uses, and whether something is
manufactured or occurs in nature.
• PreK-PS2-2: Through experience, develop awareness of factors that
influence whether things stand or fall.
• 1.K-2-ETS1-1. Ask questions, make observations, and gather
information about a situation people want to change that can be
solved by developing or improving an object or tool.
• K-2-ETS1-2. Develop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model to
illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to
solve a given problem.
• 2.K-2-ETS1-3. Analyze data from tests of two objects designed to
solve the same design problem to compare the strengths and
weaknesses of how each object performs.
