Champions Build Pencil Towers!

Students were given the challenge of seeing how high they could build a pencil tower using twelve pencils, one foot of tape, one piece of construction paper and a pair of scissors. First, we read about basic building structures and studied an image of the worlds tallest building.

Next, students were given their materials and 20 minutes to build and modify.

After the 20 minutes was up, we measured each teams structure.
Our last step was writing a reflection summary of what we built and learned today.
Well done Champions!
