Abstract
A bridge is a structure built over a river, etc. to connect one shore to another. The simplest bridge is a beam bridge. Other bridge types include truss, arch, and suspension. A truss bridge uses a series of triangles (trusses) for support.
Students design, build, and test their own bridges to determine which one can support the most weight.
