Advanced & Accelerated - Building Bridges
New Record!
Twenty-three fourth-grade students in the Advanced & Accelerated class worked to build bridges out of toothpicks to see how much weight their bridge could support before breaking. Six bridges were constructed and the Vikings (Cameron Geiger, Kayleb Venema, Austin Groeneveld, and Devon Midkiff) broke the record by building a bridge that could support 25.5 pounds. There was a tie for second place between “Bridge Builders” (Elana Morrison, Mackenzie Kraley, and Colton Daoust) and “Bridge Constructors” (Joe VanSumeren, Isabelle Uganski, Mason Vold, and Cody Dorton). Mrs. Boughton, Advanced & Accelerated Teacher, presented awards for strongest bridge, best looking bridge, and company closest estimate of toothpicks to build their company’s bridge. It was a great experience for all the students who worked hard and learned basic engineering.
