Tower & Bridge Challenges

We’ve been busy in science this month learning about structures, strength and stability. Building bridges and towers with limited time and materials was sure interesting. We had a lot of fun and learning at the same time!

Using only a few straws, sticks, coffee stirrers, 60 cm of string, 90 cm of tape some towers successfully held a tennis ball 10 cm off a surface!
