 * TOOTHPICK TOWER OF TERROR ** ** THAT'S REALLY A BRIDGE **
 * Area of Interactions: ** Human Ingenuity
 * Unit Question: ** How can I accomplish what seems to be impossible?

Investigate: Find the problem you are trying to solve: I need to make a toothpick bridge with only 250 toothpicks that can cross an index card without touching it. It also must be able to support atleast 50 pounds as well as meet the height and width requirements.

Plan: After doing a little bit of research i have decided on a design similar to this but not exactly the same
 * How I plan on achieving this type of bridge? **
 * I would start out with one of the side bases and then build outward from there connecting the two bases while meeting the requirements. **

Here is what my bridge ended up looking like:


 * Using the Design Cycle and a box of toothpicks, create a bridge that meets the following requirements: **
 * Your bridge should cross over an index card.
 * Your bridge should be 4 - 5 inches high.
 * Your bridge should 3 - 5 inches wide.
 * Your bridge should hold at least 50 pounds.
