Popsicle Stick Bridge

Unit 1 of the Urban Planning course was titled load and evaluated how infrastructure overcomes obstacles. We learned about weight, load and all forces. Newton’s laws of motion were examined and applied in various problem solving tasks. Students investigated the math and science behind concepts such vectors, bridges, geometric modeling, and much more. Bridges were analyzed throughout the unit. For the unit’s action project students were asked to design and build a bridge out of fifty popsicle sticks and glue. I enjoyed the entirety of this unit as I felt it was both interesting and relevant to my daily life. I am most proud of my ability to fuse my creativity and design sense with math and science concepts.
