Description: In this project, a group of 4 to 5 build the tallest structure they can using recycled straws and 2 ft masking tape. It must be sturdy and stay up for one minute, it can only touch the floor.

Brainstorm: We were thinking of making a pyramid with  four "long straws" (straws stuck in other straws to a make a longer straw). T 

Procedure: 

1. Build a square base

2. Create 4 "long straws"

3. attach the end of the "long straws" to the base and the other ends together

SOUL Reflection:

• S - Strength:

• We had good teamwork and held the structure up while others taped things down and added straws

• O - Opportunity:

• Our ideas were conflicting and this caused us to argue about how we should build the structure

• U - Understand:

• We realized that our base was not big enough and the structure wasn't tall enough so we added a long straw at the top, however that caused the structure to be very unstable.

• L - Limitations:

• The straws are very bendy

• There was not enough tape to firmly stabilize all the straws

• Our base was to small and didnt support the structure enough

WISCR: We thought criticly about how to make it stand and were respectful of each other's ideas.
