Building a Bridge Challenge

In Te Ngahere the year six’s have been doing another epro8 challenge. We were divided in a group of three to build a bridge out of ice-cream sticks and circle shaped sticks. In this activity we watched a video about different types of bridges: Truss bridge, Suspension bridge and Cable- stayed bridge, their structure, their strength and their weakness. In my group, we were not able to make a bridge as we didn't do a proper discussion about what job everybody has to do and how to do it together and we all ended up with different ideas. From this activity I learnt the importance of clear communication among different group members, to complete the given task. Overall this was a fun challenging activity and I enjoyed working with them. Have you ever made a bridge before with ice-cream sticks???
