Building Better Bridges Kit
Teach engineering concepts with this complete STEM kit. With I-beams that function like actual I-beams and a wireless load cell students can go from basic concepts of force to how bridges are constructed.
Many lab activities can be conducted with our Wireless, PASPORT, or even ScienceWorkshop sensors and equipment. For assistance with substituting compatible instruments, contact PASCO Technical Support. We're here to help.
