| Program Description | Choose one area of focus for a 45-60 minute class: The Building of the Ben Franklin Bridge in its Social and Historical Context or Step by Step: The Science and Process of Suspension Bridge Construction. Engineering/aesthetics and infrastructure/community are explored via historical, detailed photographs and renderings of the construction of this suspension bridge. The Benjamin Franklin Bridge (1926), which joins Camden, NJ and Philadelphia, PA, was the longest suspension bridge in the world from when it was built until 1929. | |
| Program Format | This program in largely informational. Depending on the focus selected, students will view archival primary source photographs of the actual bridge construction and the people and local communities at the time of the building of the bridge (early 1900's to 1926). Discussion will either center around concepts of social/historical change and development or bridge construction. Themes social historical focus: infrastructure development and community, how decisions are made, how decisions and change impact individuals and the community, and how the world was different 100 years ago. Bridge construction: a look at the step-by-step process of bridge construction from building the main piers to laying the roadway including discussion of the forces, such as gravity, tension, and compression at play. As students progress through the program, they will be encouraged to form ideas, draw inferences, analyze information, make suggestions, and reach conclusions. | |
| Objectives | Objectives: Participants will 1. become acquainted with the step-by-step process of the construction of a suspension bridge. 2. explore the physics involved in suspension bridge design that allow bridges to defy gravity. 3. will view and interact with primary source documents and come to an appreciation of how primary source documents can be used to understand times gone by. 4. think about and discuss civil engineering, infrastructure, and human achievements in engineering and their impact on communities and individuals. | |
