Method

Truss Bridge:

1) Before I started to make the Popsicle sticks bridge, I used magnetic to build a fake     
 bridge.
2) After I built a magnetic bridge, I started building the Popsicle stick bridge.
3) First I took 4 Popsicle sticks and I made a straight line and I did the same thing on   
 the other side.
4) Then I started to build triangles on both sides because triangles are strong shapes.
5) I joined the pieces together and made a truss bridge.
                                           

                                                      Arch Bridge:

1) First I took some Popsicle sticks and made a fake arch shape on the floor.

2) Then I glued all the pieces together.
3) Then I made arch and glued the pieces together.
4) Then I made the road and joined all the pieces together to make the arch bridge.

Testing:

1) First I took two chairs and I placed the bridge in between the chairs.
2) Then my dad helped me to tie the bucket to the bridge.
3) I found some cars, water bottles and other toys. So that I could put it in the bucket and see when bridge will break.
4) I weighed each toy and put it in the bucket one by one.
5) I recorded the data.
6) I repeated step 4 and step 5 until the bridge is broken.
