This week in my new technology quarterly, I have created an IBeam and a Simple Beam. Our experiment was to see how strong an IBeam is compared to a Simple Beam. For the ibeam and simple beam, I needed cardboard. The ibeam n needed to be bendable,  the cardboard I had used was not very bendable. The cardboard I had used was cardboard from a package, this cardboard was good for mailing things so that nothing would break the cardboard easily. However, in my case, it was not so helpful. My ibeam was a little crooked but overall it was great. Somethings I think I could improve on next time would be finding cardboard that was more bendable, making the beam less crooked, for both beams making it wider. the results of the experiment are on Mr.Calvert’s Flipgrid. Go check it out!
