Apollo Year 9

The program is now up and running, we have crossed one or two bridges since we started and will cross many more.
The students have been investigating what the fundamentals are for building any bridge over any gap/ravine/waterway.

For their homework tasks they have been playing a mathematical bridge building game which has had some amusing results.  Some of the structures proposed I would hesitate in crossing, considering one seemed to collapse as the train moved across.

In addition they have been investigating the design process that underpins so much science and engineering.

The challenge this week will be to build a table or chair made out of newspaper.
