Pasta Bridge Building Challenge

 Structures

Jacques, Carter, Devin & Hannah's Bridge

The Grade 7 students have been learning about Structures - Form and Function. 

As their culminating task, the class had to design blueprints to plan out their bridge. Each piece of pasta cost a different price. The students had to calculate how much pasta they wanted to include without going over $100. They had to include all of the components of bridge building that we've been learning about.

Chasity, Daniel & Markus' Bridge


The prices of each bridge will be posted tomorrow, as well as the winning group. Good luck to all teams!!!
