If a suspension bridge is built with a limited supply of wood and wire materials then it will be the strongest type of bridge to span a distance of 1 metre as measured by supporting increasing amounts of weight. Through brainstorming and research, create a possible solution for the problem or question and draw a rough sketch of the prototype. Write the steps required to build the prototype and include with the method a list of all materials required in the construction. Test the prototype for the variable being studied and re-design the product to better address the performance criteria.
Results are to be recorded in a data chart to show all stages of testing.
In this section, state the answer to the original question and discuss whether your hypothesis was correct or incorrect. Make sure reasons are included in your discussion. For applications, the findings from the study are discussed as to how they might be used in everyday life.
