Hello everybody! In class this week we have been learning about the structural integrity of the triangle, and how trusses are used in buildings all around the world. For our interactive projects, we used baby carrots and toothpicks to make structures to hold up objects. To make the structures we would place toothpicks into chopped up baby carrots to make joints to connect the sides. Our challenge was to use triangles to hold up as many weights as possible, so I designed a cube with toothpicks going diagonally on the sides to make triangles, and it held up a lot of medium sized books! Overall, I thought the project was a really cool way of showing how triangles made things strong, and I really enjoyed it!
