In Science we just started to begin a new group project. This project is to make a bridge completely out of toothpicks. My partners are Sydney, Lindsey, and Lindsay. We are building a type of truss bridge that is called the Oak Street Bridge.  It is going to be really complicated to build, but I think it will work really well. This is my favorite project we have had this year.

The requirements for this project are not that complicated, but we still have to make sure we follow all of them. Our bridge can only be made out of toothpicks and glue. Another requirement is that our bridge has to be able to have something go across it. One of the hardest requirements is that our bridge has to be able to hold at least 5 pounds of sugar. It is going to take a lot of hard work to build this bridge and to make it sturdy and strong. I can't wait to see if our bridge works!
