Since 1996 it has been a tradition in Mrs. Sonnen’s
math classes to design and build toothpick bridges. Teams for this
project are picked and then the work begins: each team has a project director,
an architect, an accountant, a transportation person and a main carpenter.
Each day the teams must buy their supplies from the local warehouse, figure
tax and write checks. Audits are provided by the teachers to make sure
every balance sheet is in order. Bridge designs are up to the teams which
allow for creativity as well as strength. Toothpicks, Elmer’s glue and
patience is all that is required to build the bridges. Once the bridges
are completed they are graded on specific math requirements. The most exciting
day is the day the bridges are tested for strength. A high level of technology
is used to break the bridges. A bucket is hung from the road of the bridge
using baling twine and lead shot is poured into the bucket!!! Quietly and
patiently the teams listen for the creaking and cracking of the toothpicks.
BANG goes the bucket and the bridge is broke. The other teams cheer as
each bucket is weighed and the winner is announced. This year’s bridge
winner held 34 ½ lbs. The winning team members, shown above, are
Trinity Martinez, TJ Hibbard, Katteri Duman, Mackenzie Key and Zane Reuter.
Congratulations to our future engineers. Photo by Colleen Sonnen. Click
