Introduce Fun Steam Learning with the Bridges Around the World Unit Study

Is your house filled with LEGO creations at every turn? Do you have analytical, engineering young minds to nurture? Have you found a lack of unit studies that fuel STEAM in more than just the art side? I introduce you to the Bridges Around the World unit study!

I created this unit study because my son wanted to learn more about bridges and I couldn’t find any resource out there past a few posters and Pinterest ideas. He and his twin brother are constantly creating vehicles and contraptions of all kinds using their LEGOs and magnet tiles. Their hungry brains are always perked up by learning about how things work and what makes them strong.

Learn how these architectural wonders can inspire a whole new generation of engineers. Each lesson describes a main type of bridge, its anatomy, and what forces make them strong. Activities include hands-on and paper crafts, and the opportunity to locate bridges all over the world! Discover the history behind the oldest arch bridge still used today and the science behind the tallest and longest bridges built!

Use this unique unit study to inspire analytical engineer-type kids to become world-class architects and engineers!

But this study isn’t just about bridges—it’s about problem-solving, critical thinking, and hands-on exploration. Kids will engage in real-world engineering challenges, testing different materials and designs to see which structures can hold the most weight. They’ll also get to design their own bridges using simple household items, learning firsthand how tension, compression, and balance work together to create stability.

With a mix of history, science, geography, and engineering, Bridges Around the World is perfect for homeschooling families, classrooms, or any curious minds eager to dive into the mechanics of the world around them. Whether your child dreams of being an architect, an engineer, or just loves building things, this unit study will keep their creativity and curiosity soaring!
