So, in Science class, me and two others had to make a long, durable chain based off of the materials we were given. We made a pretty good chain, and I’m really glad how it turned out. It doesn’t look aesthetically pleasing, but as long as it gets the job done, it’s fine.

Hypothesis: If we put the water bottles on the chain, then it’ll stay because it’s durable.
Length of chain: 333 cm
1. Which part will work the best?
I feel like the pipe cleaners and the rubber bands incased in plastic straw will work great.
2. Which part may be a problem?
The cruddy thin brown string. I feel like it’ll snap.
3. Which material didn’t we use and why?
We really used everything we could get except craft sticks. They just don’t seem necessary to a chain.
Materials used:
1010 Straws
0/10 Popsicle Sticks
20/20 Index Cards
5/10 Pieces of paper
200 cm/200 cm of string/thread
185 cm/200 cm of Tape
10/10 Pipe Cleaners
10/10 Rubber Bands
1 Meter off the Ground
Conclusion: We did good. We got 2nd place. 933 points for length and strength.
