The “Physics of Bridges” project utilizes research skills, MS Word, and Sketchup (free CAD software download) to allow students to build skills in those programs along with skills in Internet research, reading, writing and critical thinking. In these projects, students research information about bridge design and the physics behind them. They create a scale model drawing of a bridge using Sketchup (CAD) and then brainstorm with their team to determine the best design to build from specific provided materials that they “purchase” using a set budget with the goal of building the most attractive, strongest bridge for the least cost. They utilize the software simulation “West Point Bridge Designer” (free download) to assist them in their learning. Finally, they reflect on their learning and the dynamics of their team to complete the project.

The project was created for grades 7-8 but could easily be adapted for younger or older students.

Files Included with this Lesson

• Teacher Notes and Resources

• Bridge Project Overview & Expectations

• Bridge Questions and Vocabulary (includes teacher key)

• Bridge Research project

• WestPoint Bridge Designer Project Instructions and Expectations

• Bridge Building Challenge Expectations (includes Sketchup/CAD assignment)

• Materials Planning & Price Sheet

Children love building with bricks! The task cards correlate with the NGSS Engineering Standards. Students naturally think about the properties of materials (color, size, and shape) that will best complete the challenge. They also take apart and rebuild to make their creation even better! This the perfect time to talk about steps in the engineering and design process! The cards can be used whole group, with partners, or at centers. They will also keep your early finishers engaged in a thoughtful way.

There are worksheets at three different levels, so students can draw or photograph, write about, and/or measuring their creations. There is a cover page included in case you decide to make their pages into a book.

A tips and suggestions page is also included.

Students use close reading skills with a short informational passage to learn about the career field and answer questions to use critical thinking skills and demonstrate their understanding. Two different puzzles are included to learn different jobs in the career and to reinforce vocabulary skills. An individual research project to learn more about a famous scientist using Microsoft PowerPoint (or Google Slides) offers students an opportunity for a real-life look into this career. A group lesson to use the Engineering Design Process and build a catapult is provided to simulate the career and allow students to utilize critical thinking skills and teamwork. Finally, a short reflection questionnaire gives students the opportunity to reflect and analyze their learning as they determine if this career field is of interest to them.

The project was created for grades 7-8 but could easily be used with high school students. The teacher can choose to use some or all of the provided lesson options included in this resource.

This lesson is great for distance learning/remote learning. You can upload it to your school's learning management system (Google Classroom, Edmodo, Canvas, etc.) or share with students via Google Drive.

Project based learning fun for middle school and early high school students that focuses on the physics behind amusement park rides.

Students start the unit by researching information about how Newton's Laws of Physics impact the amusement park rides they love. They utilize an online simulation to see how changes in their design impact the fun and safety of the rides. Next, they research the history of roller coasters and showcase their work using PowerPoint or a Web 2.0 presentation tool. Finally, they design their own amusement park using Sketchup (or other CAD software) and finally put it all together in a presentation to share with their dream amusement park with the class, who evaluates their design.

Materials and lessons include:

1. Teacher and Student Resources

2. Amusement Park Physics Research (Questions, on-line simulation, vocabulary) – includes student worksheet and grading key

3. History of Roller Coasters Project (PowerPoint, Web 2.0, research)

4. Creating an Amusement Park in Sketchup Project (research, CAD design, PowerPoint summary and presentation to the class).

5. Student Presentation Evaluation Sheet

I've used this lesson with 8th graders in a high school credit Engineering class for several years and it is one of their favorites. I hope you students enjoy it!

This project lets students learn about the engineering and design of hotels as they research and design one with their team. After introducing the lesson with a short video (link included in resources), students complete a math project about hotel design that focuses on perimeter, area, square footage, measurement and scale skills (formulas are included). Next, they work with their team to research information about the design and engineering involved in hotel construction and plan the design, materials and budget for the hotel they will design. Then, they work individually to create their own hotel to scale in Sketchup (a free CAD software program, download available at: https://www.sketchup.com/download ) and after completion, determine which of the team’s designs they will actually construct. Finally, they build a model of their hotel using recycled materials, following the Engineering Design Process with their team. After completing their hotel, students present their project to the class and explain their design choices. Finally, students reflect on and summarize their learning with short answers to questions about the experience and what they learned.

This lesson was created for 7th and 8th grade, but could also be used successfully in upper elementary grades or high school as well.
