Bridge building contest is over!

It has been a week since our bridge building contest. All of the entries did very well. There were many different designs. For grammar school this was a fun project, but for high school this counted as a grade. Along with building the bridge, the high school had to write a technical report which was due one week later Friday April, 11.

The grammar school students bridge starting to buckle under the weight of the bricks.

Blake Hawkins awaits to see how much his bridge can hold, in this picture it is holding about fifteen pounds.

We did have a two amazing bridges that held all of the weight that the teachers had on it.

The Toothpicks boy's bridge withstood all of bricks weight. On Monday of the next week this bridge held 129 lbs. before the brige rig for holding the weight broke.

Just like the toothpick boys, team Chicken Flavored Vegtables with stood all of the weight of the bricks. On Monday of the next week this bridge held 132 lbs. before the team decided to take the weight off because they had held the most weight and wanted to keep their bridge.
