Spaghetti Bridge Building

For the last two weeks Miss Kirkpatrick Inquiry group has been building bridges out of spaghetti. This was a very fun and creative piece of work we have done this year. We would draw a type of bridge we would like to build with all the correct measurements. We would then be provided with : a packet of spaghetti, rubber bands and tape. We would use all the equipment to construct our bridge. Each spaghetti was around 25 centimeters so it would be difficult, what type of bridge it was and how long or tall it was. Once all the planing was done we would have to make the deck of the bridge. We would use the rubber bands to make the spaghetti stay in bundles of ten. After we have constructed our bridge we would use an S hook to hang bricks to test the stability and strength on the bridge. My groups bridge was able to withstand 6 bricks.
