Spaghetti Bridge Reflection

1.) The process that I found most rewarding was when we started putting weights on our bridge. This was cool because all our hard work paid off because it held more weight then expected.
2.) The specific strength of our bridge was the middle support. It was good because we put the most spaghetti in the middle.
3) Some changes that I would've made to our original design to make it stronger would be to flatten out the spaghetti while it was drying. You do this by putting a text book on the spaghetti while it's drying.
4.) Some tips I would give to future spaghetti bridge designers would be to plan out what they're glueing and then glue everything at one time because it takes a long time for it to dry. I would also tell them to put a text book on the spaghetti while it dries to keep it flat.

Spaghetti Bridge

1.) Our bridge design is an arc bridge. We feel that our bridge will be strong in the center and the arcs will help it stay up.
2.) I think our construction process has come along fairly well these past couple of noon hours. Today we are putting the finishing touches on our bridge. Our bridge will be ready to go for Monday if everything goes as planned.
3.) Here is a picture of Jon working on our bridge.
