POPSICLE STICK BRIDGE

SUPPLIES

• Make a popsicle stick bridge using these supplies
• Only use 200 popsicle sticks
• Only use elmers/wood glue

PROBLEM/QUESTION

• Make a popsicle stick bridge that can hold mass amonts of weight
• How are me and my group going to make that?

HYPOTHESIS

DATA COLLECTED

• We found out that we had to distribute the wieght
• The way to do that was to make triangles

TYPES OF STRAIN

• Elastic deformation-the temporary change in length, volume, or shape produced
• Plastic deformation- deformation of a material that remains rigid under stresses
• Compressed stress- is when something is getting smashed
• Tensil stress- cause by pulling apart
• Strain- any force or pressure tending to alter shape, cause a fracture, etc.

THE TYPE OF BRIDGE

• Through out this project we planned on making a truss bridge

ADVICE

• If i gave advice to a fellow sixth grader i would tell them this.
• I would say not to slack off during this project
• I would also say make sure everyone is on task in your group

IF WE HAVE MORE STICKS

• If my group have more popsicle sticks
• I would make a better and stronger bridge

HOW WE MESSED UP

• First of all some of our group did mess around sometimes
• We didnt have all of our parts made
• Also some people in our group didnt work as much as others

CONCLUSION

• We conclude that the project cannot be completed unless everyone did what they needed to
• Also everyone needs to be on task
