Bridge Testing

For inquiry this term we have been focusing on bridges and structures. For the past couple of weeks we have been planing and building our spaghetti bridge in our group. Our presenting day was on Wednesday last week were we had to showcase our bridge to everyone. We decided to build a beam bridge because it sounded simple and easy to build which was difficult for our group. We used spaghetti, tape, string and rubber bands to do this. We also had to measure our spaghetti so it was the same length as everything else. Our bridge ended up holding more than 2 bricks, but dropped on the third brick. I thought that our bridge will only hold 1 brick, because our bridge didn't look complete.
