For the past couple of days in Science we have been making chains out of a variety of different materials. We are graded on what place we get out of all the groups in the class. We get points for the length of our chain and for how much weight it can hold. There are 5 bottles of varying weight that we can try to hang on our chain, if your chain can support more weights, you get more points. Some of the materials that my group used were 200 cm of string, 200 cm of masking tape, 10 pipe cleaners, 10 rubber bands, and folded strips of paper. I think that the project has been going well, seeing as our chain has been able to hold all the weights so far, and is quite long. One thing that I might do differently next time is to twist the masking tape to that the sticky side is facing inward, rather than outward.
