Last
week, the physics class and the advanced problems in science class competed in
the toothpick bridge competition. Their task was to build a bridge out of flat
toothpicks and school glue which was able to span a 30 centimeter canyon. Then
a bucket was hung from the bridge and weights were added to the bucket. The
bridges were judged on the ratio of the mass it held versus the weight of the
bridge itself.
The bridge which was third place overall was
built by advanced problems in science students Treg Jackson, Cory Rowe and Nash
Lavy. It held 312 times its own weight. The second place bridge overall held
408 times its own weight and was built by physics students Kacie Tackett, Macy
Flanary, and Jalynn Mead. And the winner out of both classes held the maximum
weight of 15kg which was 549 times its own weight. This bridge was built by
physics students Athan Matthews, Paiton Miller, and Tristen Benedict. Fabulous
work students!
