On top of building your bridge you have to stay within budget. It would be more solid with more popsickle sticks, but we couldn't afford them. We learned that you had to balance the weight or else it would fall over.
The hardest part was staying in the budget. If we could have re-enforced the sides more, it would have insane. What I learned about these trusts is that they are surprisingly strong because the smallest bridge held around 50 some odd ponds and their was one that held 84 pounds.
-I think the most challenging thing about my experience would probably be making the bridge. -I think we could've made the bridge stronger by making the bridge thicker. -I learned that truss bridges are very cool and hard to make. But other then that i loved the experience. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE EXPERIENCE.
The most challenging part of the work shop was trying not to go bankrupt. I think that duck tape would have made my bridge stronger but we did use alot of glue so it helped a bit.
We learned that truss bridges are based on using triangles which was a very helpful fact when we where creating our bridges.
And remember these three words if you ever make bridges: contortion, compresstion ,tention.
1. The most challenging part was to make the bridge. 2. To make the bridge stronger,I would of put more popsicle sticks. 3.I learned that truss bridges can hold a lot of weight. The best was 84 pounds.
The most challenging part of the workshop in my opinion was handling the budget. One "beam" costs $10000! As a sixth grader at Knowlton Academy, i found dealing with the money and trying not to go bankrupt is difficult because everything is super expensive and i'm not wonderful with math so being a math consultant was hard. The bridges would have been stonger if we used 1. duct tape 2.no price limit 3. no prices Tension contortion compression were some of the main problems in our bridge. It got all twisted! We learned that truss bridges are mainly made of triangles and Xs. Thank you so much for teaching us stuff. That was so much fun. I loved to see the bridges snap! :) :D :0)
thats me!! yaaaaaaahh i was scared but i still stood on the bridge

It was amazing working with so many diffrent bridges
ReplyDeleteIt was hard making sure you put enough glue and popsickle sticks and trying not to mess up...to much! :)
ReplyDeleteI think it was more fun with the budget because its more challenging, but also i think that without the budget our bride could of bin stronger,
