Without folding the paper it held 2 pennies, the paper with 1 fold held 7 pennies, the paper with 3 folds held 28 pennies, the paper with 5 folds held 72 pennies, the paper with 9 folds held 120 pennies. It was fun. The more you fold the paper the more pennies can be held on the bridge.

I made the bridge stronger by folding the paper. The paper bridge holded 98 pennies. I loved doing that project.

The first time I tried the experiment it didn't do so well, I only got 89 pennies, but the second time I did much better I got 123 pennies.

Our first time without bending the paper we had 106 pennies on the paper before they fell. We rolled the paper up into a scroll and put 10 pennies on each end. We just started placing the pennies inside. Our final total was 540 pennies. The scroll was full so we had to take the pennies put by the time we got to 540 pennies. If there would have been more room we could have gotten more pennies in the scroll.

Well, when I made the paper bridge, it kept falling. Then, I got papers and rolled them up, and they supported the bridge. After that, I decided I should put weight on it to see what it could hold. I first put a little rock. The bridge fell down a little. Then I tried a pen-a pen that you would use everyday. It stayed. Then I put some Hot Tamales (Candy) and it stayed, but tilted a little, too. Now, I know that if I want to make a bridge, it would be better to make it out of something else.

I Fanned out the paper and made sure it was evenly on the books. I hav about 2000+ pennies. So I put them on 10 at a time until I ha 150. Then I put 20 and then less. I managed to get 536 pennies on my bridge before it collapsed.

The very first time that I tried to make the paper bridge it worked great, but it just didn't hold up long. I thought of diffrent ways that I could make the paper bridge stronger, So I used a paper that was already folded for me, what I used was an envelope. The envelope sure was stronger!

We did not have enough coins so we used a mixture of coins. At first we used normal paper. They held 20 coins. Then we used folded paper. They held 36 coins.

When I did the paper brige it first fell, it acually was my friends idea and she made the paper brige about 10 inches. I couldent do it at first but then I got better by doing it each day and I acually made it higher than my friend it was not easy!!! Dont try this at home, it will be hard to clean the papers up, it will take u almost an hour.

When we did it, we first tried a construction paper. We figured if we changed it's shape it could probably hold at least 100 pennies. However, when we folded it into a half- paper fan, it LITERALLY holded 100 to 300 pennies. If we can do it, so can YOU!!!

Madelyn, age 5 of Eureka, IL wrote:
The bridge fell when we used the paper flat, after only 1-2 pennies. Next we folded the paper accordian style, and that design held all 100 pennies every time we tested it. We also tried folding the paper long-ways once, then folding over the long sides and making "sidewalls" for our bridge. This design held all the pennies the first try will a small bending in the middle. But when we tried to use it a second time it collapsed.
