I designed this bridge for the boy next door. He watches my son and I build projects, and he asked if he could build a bridge for his cars. I took him downstairs and we did a real quick sketch in i…

Popsicle Stick Truss Bridge

For this project, we will be building bridges made out of Popsicle sticks. There are many challenges to this project, you must consider aesthetic appeal, your bridge must span twenty inches and hold three pounds. Comment to this post by answering: Do you think a bridge made out of Popsicle sticks can hold three pounds? Why or why not?

In the strength category of the 5th DLSU-CES Bridge Building Competition, the bridges with weight W were subjected to two-point loads using a UTM (Read the blog on bridge testing). The values of P and D at failure were noted to get the Strength rating S=P/(D*W). The bridge with the largest S wins the competition. The value of S depends on the stiffness (P/D) of the bridge and the weight W. The competition measures how efficient the materials were used to obtain a structure with large ratio…

Golden Gate project popsicle sticks

Popsicle Stick Bridge: The popsicle stick bridge is a classic science demonstration and competition. Every year many students world-wide build bridges made soley from popsicle sticks and glue, to see which designs can hold the most weight.We built one, using maybe 140 sti…

Golden Gate Bridge project Materials needed: 400+ popsicle sticks, hot glue gun, extra glue sticks (30), red spray paint, red string.

For those who are looking for free instructions on how to make a simple popsicle stick bridge, look no further. I decided to make these instructions because the boy next door was so happy with his …

Kids of all ages will have fun with this craft stick bridge STEM challenge. Discover how to make a craft stick truss bridge in this craft stick STEM activity.

Building model bridges is fun. So fun that sometimes you might not even know you are learning. Physics, math, and engineering concepts are brought to life through the hands-on project of designing and building a model bridge. Garrett's Bridges is a resource used by teachers, students, and parents alike for turning model bridge building into a fun and rich experience.

Popsicle Stick Bridge: My name is Mason Jordan. I built a bridge out of Popsicle sticks. It is about eighteen inches long and five and a half inches high. I made it for a 7th grade class extension project. It has to be at least 18 inches long. There was no hei…
