Gr. 3 Structures and Materials - Bridge testing

Grade 3 students were broken into partners to build popsicle bridges using only 50 popsicle sticks! Groups had to build a bridge 30 cm long and approximately 1 popsicle stick wide. Groups had to consider strength, attractiveness and design when creating their bridges. Unique designs were created, and we tested the bridges for strength by placing weights on them. Every bridge withstood 3700 grams. But, can the bridges withstand more weight??


I am getting more weights into the school. On Tuesday, April 17 we will try to determine a winner of the strength competition!! Good luck to all teams!
