Team work Tuesday this week was another building challenge. Their task was to work together to build the tallest freestanding tower that could support a tennis ball and stand upright long enough to be measured. They had only newspaper, a roll of masking tape and scissors. Students had 30 minutes.

Groups worked quickly to start building a sturdy base and discovered rolling up newspaper helped to make the strongest structure. In the end our two tallest towers that were able to support a tennis ball  in the time given were 100 and 102cm.

Well done everyone ☺
