Spaghetti Bridge Reflection

The part of the process that I felt was the most rewarding was seeing our bridge hold up 5000 grams because it was really cool to see something made of spaghetti hold up that much weight.

One of the strengths that our bridge had was its base was very strong this is because it there was at least three layers of spaghetti that made up the base.

If I were to make another bridge I would keep the same basic design but I would make sure that the bridge was flat on the table so that the weight would be spread out more evenly instead of being focused on smaller points that aren't as strong.

Make sure that you have wax paper covering the table so that your bridge doesn't get glued to the table because when you try and get it off the table there is a good chance that your bridge will break.
