Term 2 Topic: Bridge Building
 * We learned:
 * bridges have been around for a very long time and nobody knows quite when the first one was built
 * wooden bridges are not built so much now because wood is not a sustainable resource to use
 * wooden bridges are more likely to be smaller and used on small tracks, farms or in countries that are not rich
 * the differences between bascule bridge, suspension bridge, beam bridge, canti-lever bridge and arch bridge
 * the name of the main block in the middle of the arch bridge is called 'the key' stone, it holds the arch in place
 * construction of bridges have changed because technology has changed and the design of bridges has also changed because architects and designers have changed their ideas
 * bracing makes bridges stronger and it holds them together
 * they have to be stable
 * people have become more safety conscious and now less people are killed during the construction
 * we can't keep chopping trees down to make things because we need the trees so we can breathe
 * most bridges are made out of steel now because it is better for the environment
 * that Science Alive has some awesome K'nex to help build bridges
 * there are many more people in the world now and people have to live differently than before
