Suspension bridges are excellent examples of modern civil engineering, coming a long way from the basic beam bridges of the past. However, are suspension bridges any better at dealing with the forces of compression and tension than beam bridges? How do these forces act differently on a suspension bridge? Find out with this fun STEM activity making a beam bridge and a suspension bridge using straws, string and tape, testing their strength against these forces and comparing the results!
