BRIDGES

[woodbuck27]

OBJECTIVE - To build a bridge with 100 toothpicks and 45 cm. of balsa wood.



GRADES - The bridge will be graded by 5 categories...

Teamwork - based on completed bridge in allotted time, following safety rules of the classroom, and responsibility of materials.

Mathwork - based on meeting the bridge specifications (height of bases, height of bridge, width of bridge), blueprint quality and match to finished product, and measurement of cardboard ground (for bases to connect).

Appearance - based on a scale of 1 to 10 scored by the student's classmates. (1 being poor - 5 being average - 10 being excellent.)

Geometry - based on having special geometric principles in the bridge's design such as 3 types of angle, 3 different polygons, sets of parallel lines, congruency, and sets of perpendicular lines.

Strength - how much weight the bridge will hold without breaking. A bridge must hold 12 and 1/2 points for full credit.

That's the way. . . .

For one thing, they don't "move the water from the bottom of the bay"

They build caissons (sp?)

you need to google, bud.

This is a complicated deal & you need to understand it instead of plagarizing woodbuck's google work.

Yeeaaa ! I believe you may be right KYPack.

I completely forgot to get the info. for YOU on that, as there have been other things pop up, and I apolgize PaCkFan_n_MD.

First reaction: Change schools really fast !

Never - never - never admit it, when you have a good caper going on. . .

You had the chance to really pull 'the dog' on us PaCkFan_n_MD.

Now what are we ever going to do, to get a thread that will provide as much entertainment as this one had the potential to. . .

You might have got some people really thinking, and we could have gone all ' Royal Air Farce ' on them.

SHIT ! Missed opportunities.

Man there are some really DUMB people out there, if you surf the WWW.

Being a Packer fan disqualifies you from that, but jeeeeee we could have really had a tear with that one.

Oh well. That's only strike one!
