Building Better Bridges!

Arp Jr. High Tech Apps Class tackles bridge designs on the way to designing a bridge Web Quest!

 

STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS!
     

Virginia ponders the best design for the bridge.  Her design places the spaghetti closer to the edges of the cup.

Codie reads the activity directions to his group.  Emily watches another group's first attempt at getting their cup to hold the washers.

Aaron and Ahmad work on a design of their own.  Mrs. Dacus, what is the paperclip for?

Stephanie encourages her teammates.  "I think we've found the best design!"  Virginia and Blake anxiously watch the cup to see if the spaghetti can hold the weight of their washers.

Beaux thinks he's found the answer!

 

 

A Winning Design!

After several attempts Aaron and Ahmad find a design that works!

Jonathan's group used the paperclip to reinforce the spaghetti bridge.  Their cup successfully held all of their washers!
