Bridge Building Contest Kit

I ordered the basswood bridge kit for my classroom, and I am NOT pleased overall. It is supposed to come with materials for 10 groups....on the inside page of the instructions, it says that there are materials for 15 groups. WIth the materials that I got, there is only enough for FIVE groups!! Not even close to 10 or 15! For instance, you get 5 scalpels, 5 bottles of wood glue, and 5 pieces of foam board to work on. It's supposed to come with 50 basswood pieces, and I don't even have CLOSE to that. I need to go and purchase more basswood on my own now. The instructions for how to use the load plate are not clear- the diagrams show that there should be two loading points on the bridge, but only have instructions for one load plate. Do you make two load plates and load up both parts of the students' bridges? Do you make one plate and pick one of the load points to test at? Why aren't you just testing it in the center? Very unclear. The "above and beyond" information at the end of the booklet, designed to take your understanding of bridges further, is ridiculously above and beyond. Nothing that I would ever teach to my kids....heck, I couldn't understand what was going on. You'd really have to be an upper-level physics teacher or college professor to get whatever is going on there....it was not useful to me at all. Overall, I'm mostly upset about the lack of materials that I received. It would be easier to just find the information for this outside of Wards/on the internet and buy the pieces yourself from somewhere else (National Balsa, which I found online, has the same basswood pieces they sell on Wards (about $1.30) for 32 cents each!!! Holy cow!! Buy it all separately, find better instructions elsewhere, and save yourself time and money.
