Science Shorts: Building Bridges

Science and Children -- Summer 2006

London Bridge is falling down, falling down...Can you finish the song? Although there are various stories that suggest the meaning of this famous nursery rhyme, the London Bridge, which spans the River Thames, did indeed "fall down" several times throughout history. This month's Science Shorts explores what makes bridges stay up. A corresponding activity is included.
