Tower battles

It was the first day back at school in Te Ngahere. We were doing a steam challenge. A steam challenge is when you create a specific thing with  a certain amount of resources and time. We also had to work in groups of 3 or 2. My group was Me, Jahrell and Dale. The steam challenge we had to do was to create a paper tower with two pages of newspaper, 30 cm of sellotape and 20 minutes. About 5 to 10 minutes in we had created our paper tower, It was anywhere between 1 metre 17 cm and 1 metre 19 cm. We shrunk our paper tower by about 3 to 4 cm because It did not balance that well. After we shrunk our paper tower so It would balance better, Is what we thought. It didn't even balance anymore. At the end of the experiment I did not stand but if it did we would have came second at a height of 1 meter and 15 cm. What I learned was it is possible to build a paper towel over 1 metre with 2 Pages of newspaper. What I enjoyed was we came up with an idea in the first 2 minutes. What I found hard was building the paper towel. I hope you liked my blog post if you did please comment. here is my reflection
