Building Bridges

On Tuesday, year 5 and 6 worked together to build some bridges. First, we had a look at the different types of bridges, and watched this video clip:



Their task was simple:
Build a bridge that will carry a plastic cup filled with 300 beans.

The bridge had to be:
-At least 2 cm off the ground.

They could use:
-string
-newspaper
-straws
-tape
-paper clips.

They worked very well in their groups, and everyone was talking, planning and fixing things that didn't work! There are some future engineers in these classes!
