Bridge Science: Weekly Science Project Idea and Home Science Activity Spotlight
/-/https/www.sciencebuddies.org/cdn/blog/graphics/2014-weekly_hands-on_bridge-suspension-engineering.png)
In this week's spotlight: an civil engineering project that lets students and families experiment with bridge design. You may be familiar with famous suspension bridges like the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, but how does a suspension bridge really work? How do the cables work to support the weight on the bridge? Can a suspension bridge carry a greater load than a beam bridge? With common household materials, you can put your own straw-based bridges to the test. How many pennies can your suspension bridge hold compared to a bridge without cables?
