Presentation Transcript

  1. Tallest Tower Activity • Form Groups of Two • Using only one piece of construction paper, design the tallest tower that can stand freely for at least 10 seconds

  2. Tallest Tower Activity Engineering Criteria and Constraints • 30 Minutes to Construct and Test • Must Stand Freely for 10 Seconds • Brainstorm Designs • Regular Paper only for Prototype • Test and Make Improvements • Construction Paper for the Final Tower • No Additional Tape or Paper

  3. Tallest Tower Reflection • Identify the science involved. • What factors created a very tall tower? • What different designs did you see and which ones were the most effective? Why? • Did it make a difference to create a prototype and was it similar to the final design? • Did it matter where the tape was placed?

  4. Tallest Tower Discussion • Characteristics & benefits of using Engineering Design? • Activities can you modify to use Engineering Design? • Problems you anticipate and how to resolve them? • Biggest roadblock to using Engineering Design?
