The first 4 sites to register will be interactive sites which can send questions. All other sites will be view only.

We invite you to join Dr. Aaron Pan, the Museum’s Science Curator and other classrooms across the state to learn more about this growing field in science. A nanometer is one billionth of a meter-almost too small to fully comprehend-and objects on this scale are being considered in the medical, technology and consumer markets. You'll learn more about these amazing advances and students in the first 4 classes to register will be able to send specific questions to Dr. Pan to answer during the program.

More information about the entire series of programs, including archived versions of previous programs in the series can be found at: http://mobridge.more.net.

Education: Grade(s): 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

How are all the elements of a mammoth construction process like a bridge over the Missouri River brought together? It takes the hard work of a great collaboration of people from diverse careers. Explore the careers of those who work in the bridge construction industry as you interact with the people constructing a new bridge over the Missouri River at Glasgow, Missouri. Find out what it’s like to design a bridge, work with computer software, weld steel girders together, pour concrete, build new bridge piers, operate a crane, or run the barge that keeps vehicle traffic flowing while the bridge is closed for construction. See construction as it happens. View pictures and video of construction done earlier this year. And ask your questions of the people who work daily designing and building bridges.

Join us live from the construction site of the new bridge going over the Missouri River at Glasgow, Missouri for our eighth program in our continuing series of programs produced with the Missouri Department of Transportation.
