Though suspension bridges are leading long span technology today‚ they are in fact a very old form of bridge. Some primitive examples of suspension bridges use vines and ropes for cables.

After discussing that‚ I would then tell the child that to me a shoe is like a present that needs to be wrapped with ribbon. I would then slowly show them how to tie a shoe and tell them that after each time that they can successfully tie their shoe‚ I would give them some type of reward. I would then go through the process much slower

straws‚ and cup (which was 21 cm long) 6 to 7 cm longer. We could also fix the slide (which was 36 cm in total) by making it 6 to 7 cm longer as well. Our bridge needed a stronger base because it kept falling side to side. So we can put a couple more straws to each side of the cups and tape them all together. I am certain that if we redo our bridge we can succeed. Scientific Inquiry is posing a question‚ then developing a hypothesis‚ next designing experiments‚ then collecting data‚ next drawing
