IDL: Glasgow Homework

Over the next few weeks in class the pupils will be working in teams to create a bridge which will stand up to the pressure of holding 5 books from the class library and be able to drive a toy car across it. This activity links our topic to our  STEM technology tasks. At home pupils should try to come up with design ideas/ discuss ideas for the structure and locate possible materials it can be constructed from. If possible, items for building can be brought into school this week and we will ensure these are returned home when the task is complete.  We have been looking at different bridges in Glasgow but it would be helpful when out and about to try and draw attention to the different types of bridges in and around Glasgow and discuss what they are made from and how they are used.
