Popsicle stick bridges

science and tech Popsicle stick bridges. My groups bridge is the painted one. 1 meter long bridges. our bridge held 325 pounds before the teacher let it flip over when he held some of the other ones from flipping. used hot glue and Popsicle sticks

[@nicmountford1347]

Lol these comments! People are so serious and aggressive about a fun building exercise. Chill out and smile once in awhile!

[@RandomUserOnTheInterWebs]

The first bridge didn't actually fail, the weights fell over....

[@tepakira9348]

It’s supposed to support thing not have them fall of it

[@randomshitBC]

this was a grade 10 class we weren't given any instructions on how to build the bridges, just given a certain amount of sticks to complete the bridges. also it was just a project the teacher wanted to do to try get the students to like his class more not really a competition

[@lukeadlam6954]

how many popsicles did it take

[@OzGiBoKsAr]

These bridges aren't bad, the way they were tested is. And it doesn't matter what your school "designs your bridges" to hold if they're not efficient. It's the weight ratio that is important, not the weight it holds. If your bridge held 1000x its weight, kudos. But just throwing out heavy weights your bridge can hold without providing a ratio makes you sound a bit uneducated.

[@chelseaboey867]

What type of bridge is that? And how many popsicle sticks did you use?

[@thegamingsource6808]

That's not how you test a bridge. . .

[@thegrandreader291]

Want to advise another way of doing it?

[@shaynapinaula5473]

great job i love it

[@mashaelabovee8885]

these are so cool to do the science fair if your kids are doing the science fair in there school this is a good one to do if you watch them they are pretty cool

[@sarahatkinson54]

How many sticks do you use for your bridge??

[@wahyudinwahyu1145]

Kuat bgt...

[@Th3Unkn0wn252]

I'm in 8th grade and our teacher wants us to do something similar but has to withstand 8 pounds for 32 seconds and have a 6 inch high truck go under it and over it to pass... my group doesn't want to listen to me, looking forward to them failing :^)

[@augustingreat]

how many popsicle stick did that use

[@shmuliamzalak4544]

silly way of testing the bridge

[@CatchMyThrowingKnife]

Bradles do you have footage of it after rebuild?

[@7markhunter]

what sort of moronic school/teacher/class is this? Piling weights on TOP of bridges? Did anyone tell the students the exact loading criteria their bridges would be subject to? I doubt it. 99% of bridge building exercises use bottom, point loading because it's the only consistent and fair way to measure. This is embarrassing.

[@Philgob]

Exactly

[@tanman.]

Mark Hunter i just crushed mine today anf what we do is put a metal plate on top of the bridge that is attached to a chain that hangs under the bridge then we attach the chain to 1 or two buckets and put the weights in the bucket this is the right way to do it

[@cyfur2679]

Mark Hunter I'm doing this currently in my school, it is for TAG. (Talented And Gifted). We have to make a popsicle stick bridge using 100 popsicle sticks, wood glue, and it has to extend over a gap of 13 inches. We will then put weight on top to see which will hold the most.

[@jascivious]

School for morons

[@tnyswtbll]

My eighth grade class is doing this and my teacher says we have to use only 200 sticks and the bridge has to withstand 20 pounds or more and whoevers group holds the most weight wins

[@saradahamni4034]

HOLY HOW MUCH WEIGHT IS THAT?

[@tiederemo3273]

hey how long is it

[@njstuff84]

cool

[@MrOverdoze1991]

badly stacked weights. the twisting killed the bridges. :(

[@tesaerryna9367]

The stick was afraid to break because the teacher is Chuck Norris.

[@Jazzaconda]

Not very accurate in the measurement depart. But whos the Chick back left (standing)? Does she love engineering/Physics or what?

[@wildwolf4979]

In my 6th grade class our highest weight was 365 and it still didn’t break with a teacher standing on it. Our lowest was 180 mine got third with 305.

[@hollyshits]

I need help

[@NormEatsRice]

All these bridges are shit. At my school we design our bridges to hold at least 1000 lbs.

[@karishmakamble6729]

How you make it

[@janelledelacruz1615]

We did this on 8th grade and it did not go well but it was fun

[@Fallout-enjoyer]

Snort dust

[@latehdfgmoiruk2777]

Nobody hold. Need just 1people for hold. Excuse me if have something rong because i am not farang

[@siddharthgajare895]

So dangerous

[@KeswickCamp08]

no one got hurt.... no one even almost got hurt.

[@MrUranium238]

stupid way to test a bridge

[@ompatel628]

I want help to make this

[@ompatel628]

I want design

[@Hypermatthew11]

*you're*

[@dylanstevens3237]

Gps any one

[@dylansixx8369]

GPS anyone
