Math and Science Club members have begun construction on model bridges.  Club members learned how to use geometric designs to engineer a bridge that will stand up to the force of gravity.  After the bridges are completed, the members will test the breaking point of their bridges by seeing how many textbooks they can hold.  Then they will weigh an individual textbook and multiply by the number of books to determine the total weight that the bridge held during the experiment.  The winner of the Math and Science Club Bridge Contest will receive a special certificate.
