A truss bridge has the best weight to strength ratio.The triangulation of the popsicle sticks strengthens the whole bridge
You want to find out how much weight your posicle bridge can hold before collpsing. So finding the weight of the bags of weights is very important to test your bridge. Then you will find out how much weight your posicle bridge can hold. ~be happy, life is good:)~

A standard wooden Popsicle stick can typically hold around 0.5-1 ounce of weight before breaking. Exceeding this weight can cause the stick to snap.
Well it depends on the load(weight) of the object that is gunna go down on it or transverse on it. It also depends if the Popsicle is side ways or on the flat side, which is weaker that on the small side point
Use a lot of sticks.
The weight of a popsicle stick can vary depending on its size and material, but on average, a standard wooden popsicle stick weighs about 1.5 grams. There are approximately 453.592 grams in a pound, so you would need around 302 popsicle sticks to equal 1 pound.
Use a truss design. Remember to use lots of triangles as they are the strongest geometrical shape, and also, if you are just testing only the strongest Popsicle stick bridge, use many reinforced Popsicle sticks (two or more popsicle sticks laid on-top of each other). Make your bridge as symmetrical as possible, as this well help your bridge endure more surface and joint tension.If you are using popsicle sticks for your deck as well, you should probably double layer it, then add a zigzag or triangles pattern of sticks on the bottom the deck, to further reinforce it. When you make joints with your popsicle sticks, make it look something like this: --------_______-------- <stick layout keep that pattern consistent, with out laying them in a stair type pattern. Think of those small sturdy bridges with wide, geometrical beams.
A jumbo popsicle stick typically weighs around 2-3 grams.
The weight of a standard popsicle stick is approximately 4-5 grams. Therefore, to equal 200 grams, you would need around 40 to 50 popsicle sticks, depending on their exact weight. If you want a precise answer, it's best to weigh a few sticks and calculate based on that average weight.
They are bleached or otherwise treated to prevent breakdown. So composting will take quite a while. So my answer is- a Popsicle stick will take a long time to decompose.
Well I think Popsicle stick
