5th & 6th Grade Future Engineers!

Our 6th grade students are showing off their engineering skills by designing and building bridges out of popsicle sticks, uncooked pasta, and hot glue. It was amazing to see how much weight (textbooks) we could get our bridges to hold. Great job!
Arya, Sarah, and Zach creating their design
Brady and Abby adding weight to test the strength of their bridge!
Charlize, Liz, Adam, and Logan testing their design!

Nathan and Siena also adding weight to test their bridge's strength.


We also built candy corn catapults to see who could launch their candy corn the furthest distance with their catapult design. We used popsicle sticks, rubber bands, plastic spoons, and glue. Very creative designs were built!
