Bridge Building

We have been building different types of bridges from equipment in our classroom. 
 

  
Georgia and I built a bridge. We made a suspension bridge. It had three supports on the bottom. We used cellotape, a bit of string, cardboard and two blocks. It took awhile cellotaping the string on because it kept on moving. I think me and Georgia worked as a team. The bridge was strong. I like to build bridges.

My bridge is a bascule bridge. Bridges have supports to hold the bridge up so that cars, trucks, and people can go on it. A bascule bridge opens in half to let boats go through.

Yesterday me, Phillip and Ryan built a bridge. It was a beam bridge. It was so hard because the supports kept falling.

  1. We love experiments and this looks really cool! We recently did a cool experiment involving weathering and erosion.

    I really love the piece of writing that goes with this work, I think its incredibly interesting that the photographs have gone with it because I enjoyed looking at them. I liked the pictures of the students standing on the bridge, that shows us how much weight that the bridge can take.

  3. Thanks Room 8 but we have something to tell you.....our bridges weren't strong enough for people to stand on! That is just Anna's trick photography. When we had a closer look at the photos we could understand how you could think that though.
    We will do some bridge building tomorrow to see how strong we can make them.
