  1. BRIDGE BUILDING ASSIGNMENT • Work with a partner to construct 1 bridge. • Last Module Partner. • Draw a full size truss pattern from one of the six truss examples. • Construct the bridge using balsa wood. • Test the efficiency & applied force of the bridge.

  2. BRIDGE SPECIFICATIONS • Work as a team to design and construct a balsa wood bridge. • You may use no more than 7 - 24”x1/8” balsa sticks. (14 ft. total) • The bridge must have two identical trusses & a roadbed • The bridge must be exactly 10” in length. • The test block must fit between the two trusses. • No excessive glue blobs. • Support weight = Over 50 lbs. • Tape may only be used to hold pieces while glue dries. • Only two pieces of balsa wood may be laminated together.
