Bridge Building Challenge

A few weeks ago during science, the students were challenged to work in small groups and build a bridge.  They could only use 50 straws and masking tape to build their bridge. The bridge had to span 20 centimeters and be wide enough to hold a hot wheels car.  We tested the strength of each bridge by placing up to 50 marble weights on one at a time until the bridge collapsed.

Here are the bridges on display in library showcase.
