Building Bridges

Over the past week our class has been building bridges made out of bristle board. There was a lot of steps to this. First we had to choose what style of truss to use, there was a lot of people who chose he double warren truss.

The next step was to make a plan of what strips of bristle board we needed to make our trusses out of. After everyone was done making a plan, we all had to construct our trusses. This was the hardest step because one, we needed to hole punch the pieces, fasten them together, and make our roads.

Finally after we were all done our bridges we had to see which bridge could hold the most Lego pieces. The bridge that could hold the most pieces was able to hold 180 pieces.
