My bridge is for people in the future. It stretches 1,000s of miles it is portable. There is a flying thing that moves it around

This is a water bridge. These photos show how I changed ideas. First, I tried something in the kitchen with a cake pan and cups underneath. Then, I switched to building outdoor bridges. I found some bridge ideas that worked out and some that didn't. For example, I used a lightweight, clear plastic tray and plastic buckets. But it fell over because it was a little too weak. Finally, I tried two ceramic flower pots as the bridge bases with a black plastic tray and the clear plastic tray on the bottom. It worked and we ended up filling it almost to the top with water. I put a wooden toy boat in. It turns out that water can be heavy or light, depending on the amount you use. That means in real life, if you were building a water bridge, you would have to debate between the materials you use.

I made 2 bridges. The first one is a suspension bridge. I made this because we crossed over one when we went to Quebec last December. The second one is the one I drew last time which is a floating beam bridge. It's for spaceships to cross over from hangar to another.

Aruna chose a bridge for forest animals to safely cross a busy highway with moss and rock steps..
