On Monday, we invited our parents and adults in to work with us whilst we completed our Science investigation!

We are working on Materials and their Properties – and we wanted to test if the shape of a paper bridge affected how much weight it could hold.

First we made a prediction and planned how we would fold and make our paper bridges. Lots of us predicted that the thicker the bridge, the more weight the bridge would hold.

We then tested our bridges with the weight of pennies. If the bridge collapsed when holding only a few pennies, then it wasn’t strong enough.

We had such a lovely afternoon working with our adults and discussing our methods and conclusions.
