Two week for inquiry we were testing our bridges to see how strong they were and we have been working on them for the past weeks. Everyone in my inquiry group had to build there bridge out of 1 pack of spaghetti. I think the group I worked in did an awesome job because the first time we went up it was only able to hold 5 bricks and Ms Kirkpatrick thought it slipped. It was very exciting when our bridge held up 4 because our group predicted that it would only be able to hold up two or three. Since the bridge only held up five and slipped, we came back at the end when everyone finished we tried to carry the most amount of bricks which was eight we didn't really think that it would hold the eight bricks up but our bridge pulled it off. Our bridges span was 25 cm and could hold between 5 to 8 bricks and I thought it would break as soon as we put the eight bricks on but it held them up.
Your team built a very strong bridge. Do you think it was a spaghetti bridge by the end or more of a tape bridge? What part of the design would you change next time?
