Before the bridge failed
Te’Aura Reflection Bridge Project
1. I thought my bridge would do pretty well because I had never built a bridge so of course I thought it would undergo stress pretty well.
2. No my predictions weren’t correct because the bridge failed from the heavy weight of the bolts, it collapsed in the middle.
3. I would have put more tooth picks in the middle to keep the bride from collapsing.
4. Yes, my partner was helpful in the project, he helped me put it together and brain storm how to keep it from breaking into pieces.
5. Yes the follow-up activity helped me understand, because it showed when the tension and compression was a big deal by color and the bending in the bridge. If we where to build another bridge I think it would be better because I would know where to put the most toothpicks depending on the type of bridge I make.
