Bridge Building





We have been learning about forces and how they help shape the sort of bridges that we build.

We learned that there are three main types of bridge design; beam, truss and suspension.  Using this knowledge we designed and built our own bridges.

Miss Fletcher set the challenge that our bridges had to be 30 cm long and strong enough to hold an object.

In my group there were Frank, Zavier, Kaye-Lani and Stella. We used an Egg Carton and some cardboard to build our bridge.

Here is a photo of our Beam bridge.  What I like best about our bridge is that it can hold the weight of me when I sit on our beam bridge.

  2. Hello Frankie, It's your big cousin Leejiin. I am very surprised that your beam bridge can hold weight of you. What is different about it, is that it doesn't look like a bridge but it's AOK do what ever you want with it. My burning question is Who takes it home? Later Alligator
