We made at tower out of spaghetti and marshmallows and tape. The building of the tower was great and the tower felt sturdy but when we have to put an egg in it and put it in the earthquake simulator the egg stayed in it for 5 seconds of the 10 seconds it was supposed to stay and then fell out. It was unfoutunate since we wanted it to stay in the tower the whole time but it didnt. If I had to change something I would have added more spaghetti sticks and tape on the nest part that held the egg. But we were out of money so I could not add any more.

Science Chain
In Science we had to make a chain that would be able to hold Weights. The weights were 200g, 400g, 600g, 800g, 1000g. The chain needs to be able to hold all of these at the same time. It first we tried one rubber band in between each pipe cleaner but it was too weak and the rubber band was going to snap to be doubled them up and then it streched pretty far but still worked. The materials we used on this chain were; 10 pipe cleaners, a few inches of string and 10 rubber bands. The chain seems to work out well but we will have to see how it does during the 30 second test.
