First mark the sticks 7.5 inches from one side. Next, using a rubber band, tie two sticks. Repeat this step
till the total length of the stick is greater than 32 inches. This will serve as the bottom beam of the bridge

2.mov

Locate the midpoint of the sticks by dividing the total length by 2. Then measure and mark 3 points from
the center to the left side with a spacing of 4 inches in between. This will be the joints for the vertical
and diagonal members. Repeat this step on the other side of the stick.

Next cut sticks with a length of 5 inches. This will serve as the vertical members and later on will connect
the two trusses of the bridge.

After that, using the marks earlier, tie the vertical member to the bottom beam using rubber bands.
Repeat this step till all but the farthest marks from the center has a vertical member.

5.mov

Next cut sticks with a length of 7 inches. This will serve as the diagonal members of the bridge.

6.mov

Then, using the sticks for the diagonals, connect the bracing from the bottom beam to the top of the
vertical members starting from the leftmost mark.

Next create the top beam of the bridge by joining two sticks using a rubber band, Take note that the
length of the top beam must be enough to connect all the vertical members. After that, starting
attaching the vertical member to the top beam. Repeat steps 1-7 to create the other side of the bridge.

8.mov

Using the 5 inches sticks, connect the two trusses of the bridge from the joints. Repeat this step till all
the corresponding joints are connected

In order to check if the bridge is qualified in the requirements, first measure the height of the bridge.
Second measure the bridge width. Then measure the bridge length. Finally measure the total length of
the bridge. Since the bridge has a dimension of 5.5”x5.25”x24.75” and has a total length of 33” then the
bridge is qualified for the minimum requirements.

First measure the weight of the objects. By looking at the weighing scale, the total weight of the objects
is equal to 15kg. Next slowly transfer the items into the tray hooked in the middle of the bridge. Since
the bridge did not collapse then it can lift the objects with a combined weight of 15 kg
