Moving Bridge Series: Historic Strauss Trunnion Bascule Bridge (For Ages 8 and Up) (Experiment/ Building)
by PathfindersProduct Overview
This is a replica of the Joseph Strauss design that was made all over North America in the 1920‘s and 1930’s. Well known bridges of this type are the Johnston Street (Blue Bridge) in Victoria, B.C., Wishka River bridge in Washington, the Ashtaula Bridge in Ohio, the Cherry Street bridge in Toronto and the Third Street Bridge in San Francisco.
Sized to fit toy wooden train sets, this bridge is an elegant reminder of the truss bridges that used to be built years ago and are still in use! Great to use for school bridge studies, and learn more about interesting linkages, this kit will bring a new level of sophistication to playing with wooden cars and trains.
The kit can be mostly made without glue and taken apart for storage. Snug slot construction and accurate cutting makes this possible!
- The Building Kit comes complete with easy to follow instructions, all you need are some scissors.
- It comes with great educational information and links to learn more about levers and bridges. (Please Note: the makers of this kit provide links to videos on the popular Internet site, YouTube and parents should use with discretion. Loving Truth Books & Gifts is not responsible for the content or the quality of the information provided.)
- It is Easy to make in an hour or two, and has stickers for signs and the road.
- It works well as a unit study about bridges, bridge history, topography, engineering and more.
Additional word of note from Loving Truth Books & Gifts: In many of the bridge building kits from this publisher, the child/ student is encouraged to paint and possibly "decorate" their bridge with graffiti. As a Christian company and family we do condone such "pretend" modeling as "tagging" or using graffiti on a bridge or other property is a form of theft and destruction and is prohibited by Scripture. As Christians, we ought to seek to honor and glorify God in all things, including imaginative play.
