  • Submitting on paper

To start off our Forces unit, we will be making pasta bridges. All groups will be given pasta and glue. We will test bridges on Tuesday. 

Your pasta bridge will be put over a 6 inch span. It must allow a buggy car to traverse across unassisted. 

How much weight can your bridge support!?
