Absolutely the best reports so far. Our presentations started at 1:30 p.m. and finished at 2:30p.m.
Reports varied from display posters to several musical presentation, to models of reenactments of Dr. Franklin. I am going to place the posters in our hall way so the entire school can see how our students are really doing some really great work.....
Toothpick Bridge Project
Our students are going to create toothpick bridges. The bridges incorporate design, math, engineering, and teamwork. Your student will have a part to play in the construction of the toothpick bridge.
Here is a description of the team.
1. Foreman: Make sure team members do their job, monitors cost and budget and keep the team on schedule.
2. Architect: Uses computer software to design a bridge and prints out design. Help construct bridge. Architect makes sure design is followed by:
3. Construction Chief: Construct the bridge according to plans, works with Architect and supplied by:
4. Warehouse Supervisor: This student sets up, supplies, request funds, drops off and delivers messages, and cleans up after construction.
Normally, I would place several sites on the blog to see what are Toothpick Bridges
but there is a huge amount of great sites:
Your best bet for you and your student is to Google: Toothpick Bridges
However: the West Point Bridge Design contest website is absolutely worth downloading and trying.
This project will be done during Social Studies and Science time.
We will study different types of bridges and designs, history of bridge design will be also be taught.
The final grade will reflect also on Fine Arts.
