Tennis Ball Tower Challenge
Today for our Whetu Challenge we worked in a group to build a tower out of newspaper, 2 straws and sellotape. We needed to make our tower strong enough to hold a tennis ball and be able to stand alone (not leaning on anything or needing support).
Today I worked with Ashley and Taylor B because I know that I can work really well with them!
At first, we had trouble with our idea on what we were going to do, but in the end, we went with Ashleys AWESOME idea to have long legs to hold everything up.
The easiest thing was rolling up the newspaper to make our support beams because I think we have all had experience with rolling up newspaper!
The best part of our tower was admiring it in the end because it looked really good with the hight and the strength of it.
Our tower looked really good because as I said before it was really tall and super strong!
In the end, our ball managed to stay in place without falling off, our length of the tower was 76cm which I think is amazing! plus the fact that we made it into the top ten for the tallest tower in the class!
