In science class we were given the assignment to create a tower out of spaghetti, marshmallows, and tape. We had $4875 to build it. Spaghetti cost $100 per stick. Marshmallows cost $50. Tape cost $25 per inch. In my group I was the architect. I basically drew up a diagram and we built off of that. It was a lot of fun but very stressful to build. In the end we were 5cm short of the height requirement, but our tower held up very well and for that I am happy.

Boat Project
In science we created boat out of certain materials. This is our boat. It floats. The people in my group were Hannah A. and Hannah N. Our boat traveled 10 feet in 18 seconds. It is made out of styrofoam, tin foil, wood, straws, glue, and tape. It is our third attempt because the other 2 were bad. 1 was sideways and the other was too long. We are very excited to race.
