For STEM we learnt about what a tower is. We found out that a tower is a tall structure, taller than it is wide and it is a self-supporting structure.
This weeks challenge was to design a free standing tower with the greatest height using only play dough and toothpicks. They were only allowed to use 100 toothpicks per group and a teacher’s (Mrs Jack’s) handful of play dough. The Success Criteria was - your tower must be able to stand up off the ground by itself only using the supplies you were given.

Hello South hornby,My name is Jedi from Yaldhurst school. I really like what you have posted about toothpick towers. It looks like you guys had so much fun making them. But maybe next time put a few words to say what you were doing in some of the pictures.And you also have a blank slide at the end.But Overall Great job to all the winners.

Kia Ora,
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great post and it looks really hard. I don't think I could do it because I have zero patience and very unsteady hands.
How long did it take to make?
