    The students designed and built a balsa wood bridge to hold weight, inspired by real bridges. Their initial design was too complex so they simplified it. They were able to build the bridge but it only held 6 pounds while weighing 8.5 pounds itself. The students think adding a missing piece could have improved it and that their simplified design was good overall.

    Strength to weight balsa wood bridge design

    was 8.5.
    trying to make it real. One of our ● I think that the bridge design we
    inspirations was the firth of forth1 made was good. I think if we put
    bridge and the pennsylvania bridge2. the missing wood piece on it we
    would have succeeded more.
    ● Our bridge design was changed as

    design but we moved for a simpler

    extra weight. We wanted to do this with our bridge while drying.
