The Truss 3000

For our first unit of the Junior STEAM class Urban Planning, We learned about different types of bridges like truss bridges, suspension bridges and more. We also learned about the law of sine and cosine and Newton's Law's. We even went downtown to see the different types of bridges. We went to Maggie Daley park and went on the bridge it was my favorite Field Experience. My favorite was learning about triangles and how they are the best thing to build on, because it helped me, my partner LS and I with making our bridge as far as design. I am very proud of how the bridge turned out, it did take a long time to get it to dry. Our bridge was 61.4 grams and handled 41 pounds.
