Building bridges in the classroom

-

 The students, after having made their research, they chose the kind of bridge they will construct with their team.

They decided how they will find and bring the materials and started constructing their creations.

The students after 2 hours of working, suggested that they should meet again to continuew their work. 
So their 2nd encounter took place a few days later.
