Description: In a group of 4 to 5, the task is to build the tallest structure with only straws and two feet of tape. It must stand for one minute, and only be taped down to the ground.
Brainstorm: We thought to connect all the straws together. This idea was great as we needed no tape.
Procedure:After connecting all the straws we needed to make a base. The bases we built were all to small or to big. When we were finished building a base. There was very little time left so we tried to add supports to the structure. This didn't work as the tower started to lean.
SOUL Reflection:
S: We had a good idea, but we could've used more tape to support it.
O: We could've made a triangle for the supports.
U: That we should use triangles to support the tower instead of flimsy lines.
L: We didn't have enough supplies to make a strong tower.
WISCR C: Our group could've communicated better that is the reason we didn't win.
