Spaghetti Bridges in P7

Primary 7 constructed bridges out of spaghetti in today’s STEM challenge. We worked together to build our bridge and then tested its strength by adding weight.  Our challenge was for our bridge to stand up for 2mins and we are delighted with the results.

For a bit of extra fun we used the airzooka to see how the bridge coped under further stress – wind. Still standing so all good.

Primary 7 have been working on their entries to the Scottish Engineering Awards during STEM week. We were to answer the question “if I was an engineer I would” and have come up with some great ideas.  We have written our pitch letters and hope we are successful.
