Report Copyright Infringement View in OSM UK

Description

Create a lego bridge between two tables and see how much weight it can carry


Resources

Lego - Lots and lots of Lego
2 Tables
Different weights - we used household items - paper cup, small bottle of syrup, can of pop (full), tinned food can (can use multiple), bag of sugar (2kg)

Instructions

Put two tables end to end and about 0.5m apart - might be closer or further apart depending on beavers/cubs/scouts/explorers

Provide a lot of lego for each team/six/patrol to use in creating a bridge to span the distance between the tables.
Time limit: 20-30minutes

Each team brings up their bridges in turn and each one is tested to destruction, giving points for each set of weights bridge holds.

Winner is the team with the most points.
