Building Bridges

Ash Class enjoyed a Science Investigation this afternoon. We started by thinking about materials that would be suitable for building s bridge.

 

                

Why were these THINK PINK suggestions?

 

             

We thought about designs for s bridge that would be strong enough to stay standing of a ball rolled towards it.

  

Each team had to choose one design to build...

 

          

... then it was time to work together!

 

To test the bridges, we had to keep most things the same. What did we do? Why did the same person always roll the ball? What was the cellotape on the carpet for?

         

 

Why do you think the winning bridge stayed standing?
