Lab booklets and Bridge Build

Hello all,

Our first real task is to assemble our lab booklets then complete the bridge building challenge.  Here are instructions and constraints.

1.  Create a cover page for your lab booklets and include; 
1. name, course code + lab booklet, and draw an image about something that interests you in the realm of physics.  
2. take 25-30 lined sheets and a back cover and staple your lab booklet together. 
2. Bridge Build Challenge:
1. at your table groups, brainstorm, design and build a bridge with only one newspaper (no other materials allowed). The bridge must comply with the following requirements:
1. span two desks at a distance of 40 cm from each other
2. be capable of attaching a force sensor to the middle underside of the span 
3. not be connected or supported to any surface other than the top surface of the desks
4. competition winner will be the bridge that supports the highest load in newtons divided by the mass of the bridge in kg. (ie an advantage to having a strong/light bridge)
3. complete a lab book entry with the following: (will be marked)
1. date and entry name 
2. design sketches including dimensions
3. recorded data (mass and load)
4. calculation for competition (mass/load) ** do not forget about units!!!

 Have fun!!
