MagLev cars being tested for speed on the track. @SSCMiddle

Bridge Design and Construction students experiment with various beam designs today! How does the shape of a beam affect its ability to support a load? @SSCMiddle

Lots of excitement today as students test their balsa wood bridges on the structure tester! @SSCMiddle

Bridge Design and Construction students using acquired knowledge to build bridges that span 1 meter & support at least 100 grams of weight without sagging! Most held 1,000 grams! #trussbridge4thewin @SSCMiddle

Flight and Space students making kites. #bringonspring @SSCMiddle @PLTWorg

K’Nex Bridge Building Challenge. @SSCMiddle #problemsolving #engineeringchallenge #designprocess #bridgedesign&construction

Prepared for a full day of learning and sharing.

Learning bridge basics using K’Nex in Bridge Design and Construction. How does length of span affect a beam bridge’s ability to support a load? @SSCMiddle #KNex
