Science Writers -- Session 2 -- Center Valley -- Day 3, August 4th

Dear readers,

As usual at PSU camp we are science writers in room 316. Today we were bridge builders. First, we researched in the lab and the computer bridge animation. Then we came to the classroom and built bridges using construction paper, fettuccine, masking tape, markers, crayons, and our minds and what we remember from researching in the lab where we found what shapes hold the most. Then we came up with different categories such as most complicated, strongest, and most creative. We also came up with how wide and tall he bridge has to be. Different groups made completely different bridges. Different teams ran into different problems like it doesn’t hold much or not high enough.

Today's post was authored by Ruby. Well done!
