As part of Science Week we were making bridges with spaghetti and paper straws.\u00a0 They had to be able to stand up by themselves and they had to be able to hold a 250 gram weight.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 It was quite hard – even the easiest bridge was quite hard!\u00a0 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!\u00a0 (Also, it made some of us\u00a0 hungry for spaghetti!)<\/p>\n
