To conclude our science unit on Forces, students in 5M were given the task to design, build, and test a bridge. The bridge needed to span 30 cm and be capable of supporting a load (6 cans) without breaking, all while looking good. Some of our students easily surpassed the goal of 6 cans, demonstrating excellent strength in their bridge designs. Awesome job everyone! Some of the building techniques were:
Triangulation
Cross Member Beams
Layering
Suspension
Reinforcing
Here are some pics from our bridge building activity:
