Build the Suspension Shoebox Bridge
Building a Suspension Bridge whose materials fit in a shoebox can be interesting for both the educator needing storage space and for a unique hands on experience with participants being challenged. The Motivator Map for Educators provides bridge building from a historical and architectural point of view and then, with the materials gives an amazing opportunity to have a permanent set of resources detailed by the power point of how to make such a Bridge. Add in the popsicle stick roadway and the physical science challenges are extended. Test the strength of the roadway and the contest becomes extra motivating. The full cluster has both the Motivator and the our signature materials' power point for a permanent resource for your teaching.
