As part of Science Week we were making bridges with spaghetti and paper straws. They had to be able to stand up by themselves and they had to be able to hold a 250 gram weight. If you used one bit of spaghetti it would easily break because it was not very strong, but if you used a couple of bits then it held up better. It was quite hard – even the easiest bridge was quite hard! Only one group managed to do it, but it was fun and we learned a lot about how to make the things we build stronger! (Also, it made some of us hungry for spaghetti!)
