This K’NEX Bridges kit is the first in a
series called Understanding Structures.
An investigation of how bridges work will
help children develop a good
understanding of the forces affect-
ing structures in general. A successful
bridge is the result of balanced forces
in action. While bridge building makes
use of simple scientific concepts, their
application often requires complex
engineering solutions. It also demands
a knowledge and understanding of
the physical properties of materials
so that their influence on the design
and construction of the bridge can
be determined.
The K’NEX Introduction to Structures:
Bridges Kit
 • Developedtointroducepupilstothe
7 main types of bridge design, this
construction kit also provides opportunities
for learning how structures are made
stable and how they are able to support
their loads. In addition, it can be used to
demonstrate that structures can fail when
loaded and to identify the techniques for
reinforcing and strengthening them.
 • Workinginpairsorsmallcollaborative
groups, the kit provides opportunities for
pupils to explore different bridge designs,
and the forces acting on them, through the
use of focused practical tasks (FPTs), and
investigative, disassembling and evaluative
activities (IDEAs). The information gained
from these activities will help children
develop their own ideas to solve a bridge
design problem using sheet and other
resistant materials, as well as K’NEX
construction kits, where appropriate.
