This Slideshow was made using Photopeach.
We had the challenge of a limited range of resources to make our bridge. We worked in groups, making a plan after we saw what resources we were to use.
We could use:
4m of string
20 sheets of newspaper
1m of cellotape

ReplyDeleteRoom 10 are wondering what kinds of bridges you made?
ReplyDeleteIt looks fun and we like the way you presented your photos.
Tare says "Our group made a suspension bridge. Most of ours was made with string. We made the deck using lots of newspaper."
ReplyDelete"My group made a cable-stayed, we ran out of cellotape so we used the string and tucked it into the newspaper" - Mahboobullah
"Our group made a beam bridge. It was 1 metre long. It could hold ten cars cut out from a magazine." - Ricky
The bridges look great - its a fun way to learn about what shapes make a bridge strong. The older ones at Burravoe School tried this a couple of years ago when we had an engineer visit - they had a challenge that their bridge had to be strong enough for one of the little ones to sit on without it collapsing. One of the groups managed it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting our blog and asking about Trev from Dunedin. He arrived just as schools in Scotland were breaking up for their long summer holiday so he hasn't done anything in class yet.
At the moment he has come with me visiting a different part of Scotland called the Western Isles; on the way back to Shetland he is visiting Glasgow which is Scotland's biggest city. Please come back and visit our blog in the middle of August when we start our new school year!
