Article: Follow a common bridge design style, like a beam or truss design—or come up with your own.  A truss bridge uses horizontal and diagonal pieces to create sturdy structures for each side of the bridge. This is the most common and popular style of model bridge to build. A beam bridge is a simple structure that uses a horizontal beam placed across an empty space, sometimes with supporting “legs” underneath it.  You might choose a design based on what you’ll use the bridge for. Does it need to hold weight? Does it need to span a certain length of space in a model display or other project? Note that wooden skewers are better suited to a design with straight lines rather than an arch design. Use a pencil and paper to sketch out the design of your bridge, which will help you determine the scope of the project and how many skewers you will need. Or, design your bridge using a computer program or mobile app.  You may also find ready-made designs or templates for a model bridge online or in a simple engineering book. Use graph paper to assist you in making easy measurements and drawing straight lines. If you don’t have graph paper, use a ruler to help create the lines. Draw your bridge design to scale (meaning with the same lengths you will use for the actual skewers) so that you can easily lay your skewers across your design to prepare for assembly later. If using digital software, print out your design to do this if possible. Try drawing or virtually designing your bridge design from a couple different angles to help you visualize each part of it. You can create a side view as well as an end view of the bridge. Place your wooden skewers out on top of your sketch to find the lengths you’ll need. Cut any of the skewers down to size using craft shears or a craft knife.  Note that you may have to use several skewers attached together for longer sections, or to add strength to any given piece. Plan to have a large quantity of skewers to be prepared. If you don’t have access to craft shears or another tool that is sharp and durable enough to safely cut through the wooden skewers, you can use a pair of regular scissors to score a skewer where you want to cut it and then break it by hand along the score.  Be careful of the sharp ends of skewers, especially if they fly out when cut. Avert your eyes away from the skewers when cutting, or wear safety goggles. Decide if you’d like to use wood glue or string to connect the skewers for your bridge design.  If you use glue, make sure it is wood glue that will dry clear if you don’t want it to show. Apply glue to skewers in small dots to avoid excess glue oozing out when you press skewers together. Try using a q-tip or toothpick to help apply small amounts of glue.  If you use string, make sure you have enough to wrap around each joint where skewers connect in your design. Note that you may also want or need wood glue to increase strength or make it easier to hold skewers together before wrapping with string.

Decide on what type of bridge you want to build. Sketch out your design on paper. Lay out your skewers and cut them to size. Choose glue or string for assembly.
Article: Construction paper works well for this, as it is a little sturdier than normal paper. Choose your colors, for example red, black, blue, green, yellow, and orange. Cut them into any size or shape you desire, but make sure that each piece is the same size and shape as the others.  You may also choose to fold the papers after cutting them. Depending on the type of experiment you are doing, you could make a tent or shelter from the paper. Just remember, each colored sheet should have the same form and shape. Kids should only use scissors under appropriate adult supervision. Put the colors in relatively the same area and against the same background. For example, avoid putting the red paper on a brown tree and the green paper in the green grass. Place your papers in a place  that you know insects frequent, such as a flower garden. Once your colored paper is placed, step away and wait. Be patient and quiet until you start seeing insects land on the paper. Record the number and type of insect that is attracted to each different color and then compare the results.  If you want to take your results a step further, enter the data you collected into a spreadsheet and generate graphs and charts to help you visualize your results. For example, make a bar graph with the colors on the x axis (horizontal line) and the number of insects on the y axis (or vertical line). Use this to chart to show how many insects were attracted to each color. The more bugs you observe, the more reliable your data will be. You should try to observe at least 20-30  bugs to start seeing reliable trends. You may wait for quite some time to see bugs on the paper cut outs if you simply place them outside. If you need to do a more controlled (or more time effective) experiment, fold the paper into tents and place all of the colors in the same Petri dish. Introduce one bug at a time into the dish and record the color that they prefer. Do this at least 20-30 times to see reliable trends. This method would be preferred for science projects because it allows you control the different variables that might affect the insects' choices.

Cut out different colored pieces of paper. Place the colors outside. Observe the number and type of insects that land on each color. Tailor the experiment to be more time efficient.
Article: Pressing all three of these keys at the same time brings up a full-screen menu.  You may also be able to launch the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Esc. If you're using Windows 10, you can also launch the Task Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Task Manager. This opens the Task Manager to the default view.  If you see an error that says "Task Manager has been disabled by your administrator" or the option is grayed-out, your account doesn't have permission to use the tool. If the PC is maintained by someone else, ask the admin to adjust your permissions. If you are the admin of the PC and can't open the Task Manager, it's likely been disabled in the registry. This usually happens when your computer is infected with malware. Scan your computer for malware and then see the Enabling Task Manager in the Registry method to re-enable it. If you see this option at the bottom-left corner of the Task Manager, click it to display all of the Task Manager's tabs.
