The 8th grade science students, under the direction of Mrs. Smith, had the opportunity to explore the world of engineering while building bridges out of house-hold spaghetti. The students were assigned teams and each team had to research, design, and construct their own bridge. After the bridges were built, they were tested for strength by adding weights of 2 and 5 lbs increments. The strongest bridge, which was built by Josh Carnes, Brent Warr, Jeri Sloan, and Kaitlin Adams was able to hold 42 lbs before it broke.
