Description
The Leonardo Da Vinci Bridge Kit is aimed at students interested in STEM concepts included physics and engineering. Each kit engages learners to discover new ideas about the physical world through assembly and play. This kit uses rubber bands as fasteners. The rubber bands stretch as weight is applied, showing how gravitational forces are transformed into lateral forces.
- Can 5 dowels, 10 pieces of wood, and 26 rubber bands be used to build a bridge which spans 5′ and can carry 60 lbs?
- Bridge spans 5′ long. Assembly is required, but tools aren’t!
- Plywood beams and dowels are all high-quality, precision-cut birch.
- Engages learners to discover new ideas about the physical world through assembly and play.
