P7 STEM Challenge

STEM in P7

Today, as part of their topic about Australia, Miss Wales taught the class all about the Sydney Harbour Bridge and compared the construction to the Forth Road Bridge. We learned about suspension bridges and steel arched bridges.

Miss Wales then gave each group a set of instructions with the requirements for their group bridge along with a ‘helpful tips’ handout. 

Points were awarded after their time constrained construction for design, strength and teamwork.

Miss Wales was very impressed by our teamwork skills and by the strength of some of our bridges.
