Paper Tower Competition!!!!

This is my groups tower.
Our tower held 1500 grams which is 500 grams  less than the amount needed. It was 36 cm tall the exact height it was supposed to be. Here are the pictures of who got tallest, strongest, and most attractive tower.

I found the competition the most rewarding because you had built and then knowing that the tower you built actually can suppot weight.

The tower was pretty well the smae as we had planned. We thought the poles maybe would be smaller but the bigger ones worked better. An be didn't have supports in the original plan.

I woul put support beamsgoing out around it in a triangle shape to help support the tower. If this was done then the tower would have been more balanced and would have held more.

Here are some video clips of our tower durng competition. 








This a clip of the tower being set up.

  4. The colours you've chosen for your blog go very well together, Jasa! Your blog has a clear, easy to read style. Choosing a bold, contrasting colour might help your blog title stand out even better for your viewers.
