Bridge Experiment
Experiment 1:
How is the thickness of a bridge related to it's strength?
Pick a length. How many pennies does it
take for a bridge to break of thickness 2 units? 3 units? 4 units? 5
units? ...
Determine a way to predict the number of pennies that will be required
for any thickness.
Experiment 2:
How is the length of a bridge related to it's strength?
Pick a thickness. How many pennies does
it take for a bridge to break of length 2 inches? 3 inches? 4 inches?
5 inches? ...
Determine a way to predict the number of pennies that will be required
for any length.
