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 Lola and Taylor B because I know I can get along with them and they both have great ideas.
At first, we had trouble with thinking of an idea because we all thought of a different plan but in the end, we ended up with a volcano-like structure and it worked really well.
The easiest thing was rolling up the newspaper to make our support beams because I've done it several times in the past so I had lots of experience.
The best part of our tower was connecting all the beams together and putting our ball holder on top because we weren't sure if it was going to work so we were really stressed but it worked so that made us really happy.
Our tower looked pretty good to me because we made sure it was creative and successful and the beams looked really nice when they were all together and standing alone.
In the end, our tower was 76 cm tall it wasn't the tallest but it was close and it also had a lot of creativity and strength so I think we ticked all the boxes and I'm really happy about that.
I had sooo much fun making this with you and Taylor!! You came up with an AWESOME idea for the tower and thanks to you we came in the top ten out of height. I'm really glad you were in mine and Taylor team! Great job.
