Bridges
I hope to see a model of a bridge when you get back. The type of bridges design did you use? How did you create them and did you but any weight on them to see if they would hold weight?
We built a truss bridge out of kenexs. We used a brick and a few books to put weight on it. It broke and flew all over the floor when it broke. It held about 8 kilograms.
Our bridge was an example of a truss bridge. This was needed so it would hold the maximum support of weight. We used the k'nex to build it and tested it by putting weight on it.
We made one bridge yesterday, and we are making two more today. These two will be a lttle simpler than the first one. Ours held more than 8 kgs yesterday, and today we haven't tested yet. We are still are going to work on a couple of different projects today.
