Bridge Building

We have been learning about forces and how they help shape the sort of bridges that we build.  


We learned that there are three main types of bridge design; beam, truss
and suspension. Using this knowledge we designed and built our own bridges.


Miss Fletcher set the challenge that our bridges had to be 30 cm long and
strong enough to hold a toy car.


In my group there were Shiah,Andrew P,Ngakau and Xorin.  We used a egg cartons, ice block sticks and hot glue to build our bridge.

Here is a photo of our square bridge that we came up with.



  What I like best about our bridge is the different design inside.
