Bone bridge stem challenge

We worked in pairs to complete a Halloween STEM challenge. Our challenge was to use the resources provided to make a bone bridge that was strong enough to carry a spider (a toy spider of course!)

We used straws, lollipop sticks, string, pipe cleaners, cotton buds and sellotape. First we designed and drew a picture of our bridge on paper. Next we used the materials to build our bridge. This was challenging!

After that we presented our bone bridge to the class and tested the strength of each one. Check out some pictures from our stem challenge below. 🕷🌉
