Hey physics teachers or anyone who knows about scaling-

Has anyone heard of a project in which students build bridges out of pasta
and glue? Sounds crazy, but I heard of physics classes doing this. The
project provides students with a way to understand the cross sectional area
to volume ratio (strength/weight ratio).

Thank you!
