Bridge Building 1

We are currently building a bridge in our Algebra 1 class. We are building our bridge by gluing 6 sticks together for each side. We then created a floor structure that was compiled of pretty much the basic  gluing of sticks but this time we connected the two sides and added an extra line of popsicle sticks for stability. I am working with Gregory Edmond, Briana Butler, and Stephanie Ventura. Gregory Edmond is our math wiz he does most of the equations needed for the bridge. We all help him though. Stephanie,Briana, and I all glue our materials together to make them stick. Our bridge still needs to have a stable floor and stronger side structures. At first we took apart the first bridge because it was not even and it was not straight. So we basically started yesterday. We got a lot done because we had the equations, and sketch already planned out. The bridge needs to be 30" long and 6" wide. your group, or people from other groups are not aloud to come and touch your bridge or your materials. And I think you have to use all the materials you baught from mr.C. With our budget money, we mostly baught popsicle sticks and pipe cleaners. We found out how resourceful more popsicle sticks would be and turned in all our pipe cleaners for more popsicle sticks. We wrote a grant letter to Mr. C, debating over whether or not we should or should not get our grant for 50 popsicle sticks. he turned our grant down and advised us to use glue to reinforce the sides and under section. We built a Truss Bridge which its sides are made up of squares that reinforce the ceiling and undersection equally.
