Look, then try.
Choose which design you think will hold more blocks and explain why. Keep this first idea even if your result differs. There is no required winning design: a different result can reveal something about the folds, gap or paper.
Work with a grown-up on a low surface. Use large lightweight blocks and stable, low supports. Keep fingers clear if the bridge slips. Never stand on the model bridge.
Use a finger, stylus or mouse in each drawing box. Type below it, or ask a grown-up to write your words. Your work stays in this tab. Save before refreshing or leaving.

What are we learning?
A prediction is a reasoned idea to test, not a result that must come true.
