Technology Blog Post #3

This week we learned about trusses.  The project I did this week was to see what is stronger a surface with trusses versus a surface without.  I used toothpicks and grapes, and made two cubes.  One of my cubes had trusses and the other one did not. Next I put books on top to compare them.  The box without tresses just collapsed after I put one book down.  On the other hand, the box with trusses stood up after I put one book down. This proves that trusses make things less brittle and stronger.
