Introduction
Bridges are
among the most fascinating products of engineering and
physical science. While designing and building a bridge
you have to overcome many difficulties and constraints.
In a bridge project you will be asked to design and
construct a bridge that will hold the most weight for a
given span. Now you are probably wondering where to
start... |

Project
description
In this project you will first design and perform experiments
that can help you to decide how the design affects the strength
of a bridge. You will then design and build a bridge using any
material of your choice. Two common material that you can use to
construct your bridge are toothpicks and pasta. |
Details
of this project
More details or support for this project is available for the
members of ScienceProject.com. Material needed for
experiment or a science kit about this title may be available at
MiniScience.com. If you choose to make a pasta bridge, you may
purchase pasta from any local supermarket. You may also purchase
toothpicks from supermarkets; however, only round double pointed
toothpicks are recommended for bridge construction. |
