Beam Bridge Testing!

Beam Bridge Terms:  beam, columns, abutments

Third graders used a single sheet of 8 1/2 X 11 paper
to construct a beam bridge.  Laying it flat, they used cm cubes
(1 gram each) to test the weight limit of the bridge. 
They recorded the weight data.  Next, they were challenged 
to use the same sheet of paper to make a more stable 
beam bridge that would be able to support more weight.
