This term for inquiry we have been learning about structures. Throughout the previous weeks we have been completing different types of tasks based on tunnels, towers, and bridges. Last week Sky, Magenta, Marieta, and I created a suspension bridge using spaghetti, strings, and tape. Before creating our bridges we were to plan our ideas on a piece of paper and then get it checked by Ms Kirkpatrick. We measured it in millimetres. After that we were to grab the equipment that we needed. My group started off by making the components. Today everyone's group was to test their bridges by using a pile of bricks. Our bridge looked great, but unfortunately it fell down just from 1 brick. Next time we need to make the sides a little bit more stable. The precise span of it was 28 cm. The results of our bridge didn't go well, but we were happy that we made a bridge out of spaghetti.
