Build the Tallest Structure

In groups, students use either whatever they have or specific items of your choosing to see which group can build the tallest structure that stands on its own.

Build the Longest Paper Chain

In groups, students use just one piece of paper and tape or glue to try and build the longest paper chain possible. 

Build a Paper Table that Supports the Most Weight

Working in small groups in each homeroom, teams of students will compete to build a paper table that can support the weight of as many textbooks or other materials as they can.
