This week, we have been exploring different structural shapes to build a variety of bridges. We decided a Truss bridge would be a good place to start as we could make triangular shapes to help spread the weight of the bridge equally, thus making it stronger.
Then, the children were challenged to be an engineer and build their own bridges using only TWO items...
Spaghetti and Marshmallows!
