Description: In a group of 4 or 5, build the tallest structure that is sturdy and stays up for at least 1 minutes. The structure is built solely on straws and 2 ft of masking tape. It must stand alone, and the only thing it touches is the floor.
Brainstorm: We decided to make a base that looks like the Eiffel Tower and stick more straws on the top.
Procedure: We put the straws inside each other to make longer ones and made them stand up. We made a triangle base and put three of the straws we connected to each other at each corner.
SOUL Reflections:
Strengths
Putting the straws inside each other and making the structure of the Eiffel Towers.
Opportunities
What didn't work for us was making a second layer on the Eiffel Tower thing.
Understandings
I learned that we don't need to use tape for the challenge.
Limitations
We didn't have a lot of time and people were arguing.
WISCR:
We were Insightful andn Critical Thinkers by being creative and coming up with a good idea.
