project overview
In this project we were tasked with creating a bridge using only balsa wood and glue. The bridges needed to be able to span a gap and hold weight. My bridge help 80 lbs. and still has not broken.
project reflection
I found this project relatively easy because I have done activities like this one before. I had a great time working with Raul. We worked well together and finished our bridge on schedule using the available time and resources. OUt bridge has yet to break and the teacher has run out of weights to break our bridge with. I put in lots of time and effort in creating a superior bridge and design I fully achieved my goal of a superior bridge by creating the best bridge in grade nine.

In May 24, 2002 the Falkirk bridge was completed making it the only rotating bridge. This bridge is found in the United Kingdom. The falkirk bridge is use to replace canal systems and not for cars. Since this bridge rotates its type is unknown. Its longest single span is also unknown.
Most of the materials used to build this bridge was concrete and steel in order to support the structure. Canal lining was also used to transport canals around and replace them. This bridge is 30 meters long, 35 meters tall, and 35 meters wide. The bridge stands in a 100 meter circular base.
This bridge has a cost of £84.5 million. This ship has a mooring for boats to ship there. This mooring can hold over 20 boats. Its rotating movement makes it easier for boats to be transported up and down.
This bridge was build to replace and transport canals easier. It is most likely be used by tourist who visit Great britain.
The falkirk is an unknown type of bridge. Its was build using concrete steel and canal lining. This bridge is very expensive and strong. This bridge is very safe with no issues.
