PRESENTATION OUTLINE

SOLVE IT: HELP CARIBOU MIGRATE

HOW CAN YOU DESIGN A MODEL TO ALLOW CARIBOU TO MIGRATE SAFELY?

REASONS CARIBOU MIGRATE

  • To give birth/have babies.
  • To find water/food.
  • Extreme temperatures
  • Pesky mosquitoes

MODEL DESIGN OPTIONS

  • Bridge
  • Tunnel
  • Overpass

GAIGE’S CLASS TEST RESULTS

  • Purple group’s bridge held 56g. We believe it needed more supports to be stronger.
  • Blue group’s overpass held 70g. We believe more bottom supports could have improved it.
  • Orange group’s overpass held 91g. We believe filling in gaps helped it to hold plenty of weight.
  • Yellow group’s overpass was the strongest holding 141g. We believe testing our bridge with various objects ensured it would hold plenty of weight.
