Bridge Project Day 2

Background Research

Objective:

What: SWBAT design and create a bridge that will hold up the greatest amount of weight-for-mass.

How: Students will use up to 500 toothpicks and Elmer’s glue to construct a bridge that spans an 18-inch gap.

Why: To be life long learners, we need to apply the physical concepts learned in class to real life situations.  Also, 3 winning teams from all the classes will get extra credit.
