Bridge Construction – Research and Review

bridge buildingOkay, so Mr. Ewert said “For this project you will need to research bridges and their construction…” but I don’t even know where to start!  I’m freaking out here!  But wait, he always says boring things like “Have you checked the blog?” and “What do you think to you could do to find out?”  Maybe I should try asking myself those questions.

Oh look, Mr. Ewert DID put something on the blog to help me.  These links might be helpful.

And he also highly suggests using this website to help me think about how I want to design my bridge.
