Testing the Strength of Paper (Testing Paper for Strength) - Science Project Ideas
Did you know that the same sized piece of paper can hold different amounts of weight based on how it’s shaped?

1st experiment Strength of a paper bridge
Take a couple books at each end and start with just the piece of paper laid over like a bridge.
Place you cup or jar on top of paper making a bridge. If the cup doesn't support the bridge? Then you need a cup that is lighter. Or fold the paper in half. Remember to make a prediction on how many marbles each bridge can hold?
Then take the paper and fold 1 inch (2.54 cm) segments the long way of the paper. Now see how many marbles the bridge can hold? When I laid down the paper by it self, it could not hold one marble. When I folded the paper 12 times it was able to hold 57 marbles. Same piece of paper, but increased the weight the bridge could support by folding it. Be creative and see are there other ways to fold the paper to make the bridge stronger?
2nd Experiment Strength of a square, triangle and cylinder like a building
Take a piece a paper, and make one of each (cylinder, square and triangle). Tape the ends so they stay in that shape.
It's important to make sure the cylinder, square & triangle are flat and balanced on the top and bottom. If not, the books will tip over very quick. Make a prediction on how many books each one can support?
Now start stacking books onto of your on the square? Predict how many books the square can hold? Then do the same for the triangle and then the cylinder.
TIP: make sure the books are balanced in the middle of the each column, if not they will tip over.
Science Behind it
The shape of the column determines how the weight of the books on top is distributed. With a triangular or square-shaped column, the increasing weight is distributed to the corners or edges of the column. If the weight isn’t distributed evenly, the column will buckle and fall. A cylinder-shaped column can hold more weight because all parts of the column support the books equally.
Everyone is going to have different books, so to let you know how much I was able to stack here is the numbers. My books weighed 2.5 oz ( 72g) each. I was able to stack 25 books which equal to almost 4 lbs ( 1,800 g)
If you try this please let me know in the comments below how many marbles you were able to support on your bridge? How many books and the weight your columns could support?
This is also called: paper column challenge, paper column experiment, strongest paper structure
or the which pillar shape is the strongest

Hello.
Very interesting my friend.
I love this experiment! My students used the principles of compression and tension to build bridges using straws. They used pennies for the load. Great!!
I like the straws bridge experiment with pennies. thanks
So fun to watch! Great activity for children! Hope you have a great day! • L32
Thank you for the very good video 👍11
Very interesting video 🤗 I enjoy watching it.
So much fun! I always liked to do this as a kid :-) This is great for online learning as well, since only simple supplies are needed. 😊
Hey just wanted to say your a really good teacher, and I really appreciate that you don't spare expense in showing us different ways of doing each task when you could just show one way. Thank you for all your time and hard work. God bless you and your family brother!
Good Morning Valdemar Traube, Thank you very much for the kind words and thanks for watching Thx Ken
I LOVE UR VIDS TOO THO
Hello, my friend. Very nice.
Great experiments... surprising how much of a load paper can bear...
It was incredible how much it could hold. Thx
Thank you sir
yw. Thanks for watching
This is such a great activity to learn and enhance skills❤️
Have you considered learning Spanish as another way to broaden your audience skills?
We would love to partner with you!

Millions likes 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
💯% Full Watching 🤓🤓🤓
Morning
АЛИСА ВТВ, I wish I got million likes. : ) thanks Ken
Great job I learned a lot my friend.
Good Morning Avery Home Search from California, I'm glad and this experiment was fun as I never realized how strong paper was. : ) thanks Ken
Does the subject matter of the book have any bearing, philosophy, say, being “heavier” than romcoms?
LOL no I don't think the subject matter has any bearing to the weight, but those were comic books with LIGHT humor, so maybe! : )
this is what youtube used to be
You sound a lot like Joaquin Pheonix
nice so much fun
Yes I agree. I loved trying to figure out which would hold more weight. thanks for watching Thx Ken
Nice experiment
Good Morning Nived K P, thank you as this was a fun experiment. Let me know if you try it? thx Ken
By the way it's night 9'o clock here as I am an Indian .Anyway, Good Morning.I love your videos and I watch every video of yours.Can you please say where you are living.
Hi Nived K P, sorry I forget people around the world watch my videos. I started this channel for my 5 local schools that I run science night at. I'm from Northern California. US. Thank you for watching.
Ok
Hi ....what method you using?
Hi Nurul Niesya, The shape of the column determines how the weight of the books on top is distributed. With a triangular or square-shaped column, the increasing weight is distributed to the corners or edges of the column. If the weight isn’t distributed evenly, the column will buckle and fall. A cylinder-shaped column can hold more weight because all parts of the column support the books equally. Thanks Ken
