Build a tower out recycled materials!

Can you build a strong and stable structure at home using recycled materials, or materials you find at home? 

Watch the videos below and try and use the strong and stable shapes suggested here to build a tower at least 30 cm tall. The tower should have a platform on it to hold some weight. Please no Lego! Try and use materials that would be weak on their own like cardboard tubes, pasta, paper, etc...

1. Draw your tower on graph paper (if possible) with measurements

2. Build your tower!

3. Test your tower with weight!

4. Create a Google doc and Answer these questions about your tower:

• What shapes did you use? Why?

• What materials did you use? Why?

• How do you know it's strong and stable?

• How could you test it?

• How much weight can your tower hold?
