After reading this book with the class, I would have them work in small groups to build the tallest bridge possible (without falling). There supplies would be toothpicks and marshmallows. Once they have had time to build we will come together as a class and see which group was able to build the tallest bridge. Next, I will have each group share the strategy they used and explain how and why there strategies worked and didn’t work. Finally, I will have them discuss how their thought process compared to the John A. Roebling and his son Washington Roebling.
