OVERVIEW/OBJECTIVE: Students will be able to understand and discuss the history of the Bayonne Bridge and use science and engineering basics to investigate bridge design and test an arch bridge model.

TARGET GRADE LEVEL: Fourth grade instruction, adaptable to higher levels as desired in the subjects of Social Studies and Engineering.

FOCUS: In Part I, students learn about history of the Bayonne Bridge including the many engineering challenges encountered during the project and the people who helped overcome those challenges. In Part II, students learn engineering concepts to understand how bridges stay up and use these concepts to complete activities on bridge design before applying these concepts to theorize how the Bayonne Bridge works.
