At school, Room 8 has been designing small bridge models made from balsa wood and glue. The teacher explained that engineers test bridges by adding weight little by little until the structure bends or breaks. One student said, 'Our bridge looked brilliant, but it collapsed too quickly.' Another student wrote that their team used 30 centimetres of wood and spent one hour building the model. The article also states that careful planning can improve the strength of a bridge design. Several students agreed that testing models helped them improve their ideas.
