6th grade tech truss experiment blog post #3

Today I made a structure out of tooth picks and cellularly. The assignment was that you had to build a structure with toothpicks and something else to hold them so I chose cellularly. You also had to incorporate so trusses. Which is a triangle. He made a cube with carrots and toothpicks. He put books on the top and his was able to hold 5 books. And when I put books on mine it could hold 7. But I had to rebuild to get the test on video. This time it could hold only 5 . So I kinda won.

6th grade Technology I-Beam Blog post #2

Today I finished building me I-Beams. I made one by watching a video Mr. Calvert made of him making one. And the other one I made by myself. I used tacky glue to make it. Twenty actual minutes later. Welcome back I just finished testing my I-Beams. I put the handles around the I beam and put the I-Beams on a chair. I put 1 inch of slack over the chair. I put weights in the bag. My I beam was able to hold 21 pounds. His was able to 25 pounds. So his won.
