Bridge Challenge week 4 & 5

Last week during Technology we were given a challenge to construct a bridge using only one piece of A4 paper...that's it! The bridge needed to support the heaviest weight possible. In groups we trialed several different designs.


New Task:
To design and build a bridge made of fettucine!

Your bridge needs to:
* Support a 500 gram weight (a block of butter)
* Span a 35 cm gap.

Resources:
* 500 gram packet of dried fettucine
* Hot glue guns
* Hot glue!
