Engage your students in researching, designing and constructing their own bridges!
This resource guides students through the process of researching, designing, and building their own bridge out of spaghetti sticks. Clear and informative instructions are included along with design templates, tips and tricks! I do this project every year when we study forces in Science. My students absolutely love it!
This resource is designed as a Contest (but doesn't have to be done as such) where students are challenged to build the strongest bridge possible. All the instructions are included from research to testing. Certificates for Strongest Bridge and Most Innovative Design are included along with a 4 page Student Write-up Booklet. Can be done individually or in pairs.
Package Includes:
- Rationale
- Instructions
- Materials Needed
- Procedure (Research, Design, Construction, Testing)
- Bridge Design Ideas
- Student Research Page
- Student Design Page
- Student Design Grid Paper (size: 11'' x 17'')
- Strongest Bridge Certificate

- Student Write-up Booklet (4 pages)
Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a student-centered pedagogy in which students are challenged to actively learn about a subject for an extended period of time. It is a form of active learning or inquiry-based learning. Project-Based Learning is in contrast to paper-based, rote memorization, or teacher-led instruction that presents established facts. Please be aware of what you are purchasing.
Thanks so much,

TPT resources are always hit-or-miss, but this one is an absolute HIT! I am currently doing this project with my 9th graders it is fantastic. Major props for the measurement page, which allows the students to create an exact template for the truss design on a perfect centimeter grid. The rest of the resources are also good, but the measurement page makes this project an absolute winner!
This resource worked for what I needed. :) .........
Perfect for our engineering unit. The students enjoyed building their bridges.
My students loved building their spaghetti bridges. They learned about forces and it was a great STEM project. I had some wonderful final projects!
Great activity! So nice for my STEM class
