This is our Science bridge, we made a lot of progress since last time, now it is really starting to look like a bridge. The only thing that we have left to do is add a ton of toothpicks next to each other on the bottom to form a walkway, and add some reinforcements in places.

This is where we are at with our Science bridge, we have completed the 2ed base, and have finished the bracing on the two walls, everybody worked together well, and we got lots done. We still need to connect the two walls with cross beams, do some final touches on the bases, had a “road” of toothpicks on the bottom of the bridge, leaving a 2cm by 2cm hole in the middle for the string to go through, and finally glue the bridge on the bases.

This is our science bridge so far, we have started on the two walls, and are working on the 2ed base. We still have a ways to go, but things are shaping up nicely. We still have to finish all the triangular bracing for the two walls between the two beams, then connect them together on the bottom and top, finish the 2ed base, and glue the whole thing on.

This is some of our progress that we have made on our bridge. We have started to assemble the first base, and are working on one of the four main support beams. We also have completed all of the tooth picks that need to be glued in pairs or triplets.

This is the humble beginnings of our Science bridge that hopefully, in one week, will be able to support 30 pounds. We have glued together about 90 pairs of toothpicks in this picture, and have two of the pieces that will come together to form one side of  two bases for the bridge.
