Thames & Kosmos Structural Engineering: Bridges & Skyscrapers

Do you ever wonder how bridges span huge distances and how skyscrapers stay standing?  Structural engineers use physics and their knowledge of the properties of building materials and geometric shapes to design structures with sufficient strength and stability.   With this kit of modular building pieces, you can learn the basics of structural engineering by conducting a series of 20 model-building experiments.  Each model in the Thames & Kosmos Structural Engineering: Bridges & Skyscrapers kit demonstrates a basic principle of mechanical physics or structural engineering in a hands-on way.  323 pieces.
