Week 11

While building the bridge, i learned alot of things. I learned that you dont always need the "strongest stuff" but its more about how you build it. Giving the material more flex is better than having a large stiff pile. I liked how some of the students showed how much it would really cost to build the bridge they made ib real life, and showed how they made it. I also found it interesting that some noodles held up better than some، such as aged vs new. Overall, the bridge build was a very useful project for discovering new methods of performing a build of a what was thought of as a simple project. Along sidr the bridge project, we leaned about how unbalanced objects react. That when an object is unbalanced, the effect is typically a breakage, drop, or movment of some sort. For instance, we watched a video of how a poorly built bridge was made and how it having unbalanced forces acting on it caused it to fail.
