Bridge Design and Model Building Unit

email to students 4/20/16: 

Dear students, 

Each year we conclude 8th grade science using the skills we've learned by designing, constructing and testing a bridge. There are many parts to this project. The end result is a design that you create with the help of bridge building experts and a scale model to test for strength! 

Check out the assignments and due dates on the science website. We will also be using the score keeper and stars for extra credit! 

See you in class.

Sincerely,

Mr. Haskins
