Kept it simple for this task. Can see many other materials being used and compared with this artefact.]]> 2019-01-18 01:18:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kim_balnaves/xp5c67bcxs34/wish/321968056 jason_roehrig https://padlet.com/kim_balnaves/xp5c67bcxs34/wish/321980341 I tried to use materials I had laying around my house and I wanted to know how sturdy a paper-roll could be.]]> 2019-01-18 02:29:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kim_balnaves/xp5c67bcxs34/wish/321980341 natalie_k_cox https://padlet.com/kim_balnaves/xp5c67bcxs34/wish/322030076 2019-01-18 08:49:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kim_balnaves/xp5c67bcxs34/wish/322030076 tahlia_smith90 https://padlet.com/kim_balnaves/xp5c67bcxs34/wish/322571685 Here is the video of my bridge build. Another build which I found fun to do, which makes it all of them! My bridge was based on a suspension bridge idea and has distinct Sydney Harbour Bridge vibes going on. It was able to hold 600g but was pretty unstable. ]]> 2019-01-21 05:13:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kim_balnaves/xp5c67bcxs34/wish/322571685 18592061 https://padlet.com/kim_balnaves/xp5c67bcxs34/wish/322823704 I decided to ask my 7 years old son, Nemith to complete this task. I organised the project area with a range of resources for him to choose from, such as straws, icy-pole stick, kebab skewers, plastic cups. Nemith was able to compete the task successfully and was able to demonstrates critical and creative thinking skills during the project and communication skills. Hope you will enjoy this :) Thank you]]> 2019-01-22 02:06:52 UTC https://padlet.com/kim_balnaves/xp5c67bcxs34/wish/322823704 melinda_935 https://padlet.com/kim_balnaves/xp5c67bcxs34/wish/324622932 I had conducted this activity with my 9 year old daughter, and then myself as I wanted to see how it would be explored from a child's untouched mind. She did quite well with strength, just not design. However, the aim was to hold as much weight as possible, so the aesthetics aren't a priority. I found when conducting this myself, support beams were needed to hold maximum weight. I think this activity is suitable for all ages, as individual ideas can be generated from all different levels. ]]> 2019-01-27 00:16:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kim_balnaves/xp5c67bcxs34/wish/324622932 normjayne https://padlet.com/kim_balnaves/xp5c67bcxs34/wish/324730411 I decided to alter the project, instead of using plastic straws i challenged myself to making a bridge using only two pieces of paper and a pair of scissors. These are the ways I came up with slowly making it stronger by altering and attempting different designs.]]> 2019-01-27 21:09:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kim_balnaves/xp5c67bcxs34/wish/324730411 tamsimmo1 https://padlet.com/kim_balnaves/xp5c67bcxs34/wish/325374677 My daughter and I absolutely enjoyed ourselves while completing this activity. First round of testing was unsuccessful, but with some discussion and problem solving we decided to cut the straws at the weak point and add some more tape to see if it could be strong enough to hold the cup of blocks. We were so happy with our success. ]]> 2019-01-29 13:52:16 UTC https://padlet.com/kim_balnaves/xp5c67bcxs34/wish/325374677 https://padlet.com/kim_balnaves/xp5c67bcxs34/wish/326587400 Hi All, Here is a video of my bridge breaking. In my world, bridges usually have poles in the middle holding them up. My poles weren't the most sturdy though...

Have not found a place for my pipeline, so I'll just put it here. Was actually quite challenging!

This was enjoyable and easy to keep engaged in :) ]]> 2019-02-08 03:41:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kim_balnaves/xp5c67bcxs34/wish/329064843 jessica_l_harvey https://padlet.com/kim_balnaves/xp5c67bcxs34/wish/329481583 The straw bridge was an interesting activity as I found the way the items were placed on the bridge depended on whether it would hold it or not, as such putting the items on singular the bridge didn't hold the objects but when I put them all into the ceramic bowl the weight of the objects were held balanced in the middle of the bridge and held up. I also tried a rough design of a large bridge with balanced strength which also held the objects well]]> 2019-02-09 12:29:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kim_balnaves/xp5c67bcxs34/wish/329481583 collard9 https://padlet.com/kim_balnaves/xp5c67bcxs34/wish/330208241 I completed two bridges one being the straws one and one being a uncooked spaghetti one.

I decided to use straws that did not have the adjustable bend near the mouth piece as that becomes a weak point]]> 2019-02-13 13:18:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kim_balnaves/xp5c67bcxs34/wish/330777578 vanessa_erasmus https://padlet.com/kim_balnaves/xp5c67bcxs34/wish/331180468 2019-02-14 08:17:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kim_balnaves/xp5c67bcxs34/wish/331180468
