Who is in the group? Cy’leek, Ethan, Colin D, Colin W., and
Damian (all 3rd and 2nd graders)
What do we do? We
learn about bridges by reading books, making them, and testing them.
How do you make bridges? First, you take 2 books and stand
them up 6 inches apart. Then, you take 2 pieces of paper and curve it into half
an oval which is called an “arch.” Next, you put the other paper on top of the
books over the arch.
Some things we do to build teamwork are build bridges and
test them to see if they work by putting as many small plastic dinosaurs on top
as we can before the bridge sags.
We also made bridges with our bodies! The 2 outsider people
pulled and the 2 inside people pushed to show a suspension bridge.
Today in group, we made a bridge with two books. We took a
piece of paper and pretended we were making a fan by folding it back and forth.
Then we put the fan over the book and put a flat piece of paper on top. When we
tested it, it held 106 plastic dinos!
