Tall Stories Team Project


  • Me, Mary, Ashton and Emma Louise were working together for this project, our goal was to make a tall building with its own support.Our materials were newspaper and paper clips and we had a bonus 5 pieces of tape. We had 10 minutes to make it and we had another bonus of 5 more minutes.We started to make the base by rolling up 3 pieces of newspaper and attaching them together with two paper clips. After that Mary rolled one more piece of paper and attached it to the base with a paper clip sadly it just flopped around and it didn't look so stable and the whole thing just collapsed.  We needed to fix it as soon as possible as the time was ticking.We paper clipped the base to a piece of newspaper that made the base more stable but the long piece was still floppy.We had no choice but to fold the long piece and that surprisingly worked but not for long it just flopped down again and we used the tape to secure the base. It still didn't work so we used our team bands and tied the base and long piece together finally it worked and we succeeded.
