Bailey Bridges
Today Mitch learns about the engineering process of building bridges
Success in science creates independent, analytical, lifelong learners capable of meeting the needs and challenges of the 21st century. Students learn how scientific knowledge is acquired and how scientific explanations are developed. Through the engineering design process and the use of engineering, technology, and applications of science, students develop their abilities to work in cooperative groups to design solutions to problems encountered in the real world.
