Bridge Building

13th Sep 2018

Our first science experiment of the year challenged the children to make a stable bridge out of just paper and card!

What shape makes the best bridge? Was paper or card more suitable? Did the span and abutments have an effect on the stability? 

The girls and boys became paper bridge engineers and learned about how shape plays a role in designing sturdy structures .
