SIXTH GRADE ACADEMY: Thinking about Popsicle bridges ...


They have been thinking about Popsicles in Ms. Collins’ math class at the Sixth Grade Academy.

The Popsicle bridge lesson allows students to explore how engineering has impacted the development of bridges over time.  Students are encouraged to come up with innovative designs and challenged with creating their bridge. 

Primary bridge designs were studied and some of this learning was applied to the students' construction.  Students learned about civil engineering, planning and construction, working in groups and teamwork.

Afaq Chohan, Laiba Chohan, Kaycee Khuat, along with their nearly completed STEM bridge project. The second group of students is Robbie Hudzinski, Tatiana Howell, and Paige Nettleton.
