Weekend Activity: Bridge Blunder

• How many different kinds of bridge do you know?

• Are some shapes stronger than others?

Challenge:

• Build different models of bridges.
• Test their different models to see which can hold the most weight and why.
• Record and share their results.

Does it matter where you put the weights?

Take a picture of your bridge and make notes about the weight it held and how you might make it stronger and more stable. Tag us on Twitter @STEMHUB_SE or send your bridge to askanambassador@canterbury.ac.uk for feedback!
