Stable Strucutres

This week we re-looked at our structures. We realised that we needed to include additional support structures.
We viewed a slide show on stable structures and got some ideas of support structures.


We then had another go at building a tower. We still used 30 sticks but this time we used skewers instead of straws. We used blue tac instead of tape.
We included support structures using criss cross shapes, additional prop up legs and triangles in the corners. Our towers were much more stable and we were very proud of ourselves.
