Science Tower Project

Our class was split into groups and we had to create a tower out of spaghetti, mini marshmallows, and tape to hold an egg, at 40 cm tall, will remaining sturdy on an small earthquake simulator for 10 seconds. This is our tower on the second day of building. Photo on 12-12-14 at 1.35 PMOver the weekend our tower collapsed. Then someone in our group smashed it, so we had to do a little remodeling. Here it is after the third day of building. Photo on 12-15-14 at 1.51 PM #2We had a lot of extra small pieces that we could not use. We had to microwave the marshmallows to get them to be sticky again. It is definitely not 40 cm tall now, and we do not think we will be able to fix it. The grade is not all on how well the tower turns out, but our tower has no way to hold the egg, which is a problem. I hope our group will be able to fix it at least a bit more, so that we might be able to hold the egg without it cracking.
