Tower+of+Terror


 * THAT'S REALLY A BRIDGE **
 * Area of Interactions: ** Human Ingenuity
 * Unit Question: ** How can I accomplish what seems to be impossible?


 * Using the Design Cycle and a box of toothpicks, create a bridge that meets the following requirements: **
 * Your bridge should cross over an index card.
 * Your bridge should be 4 - 5 inches high.
 * Your bridge should 3 - 4 inches wide.
 * Your bridge should hold at least 50 pounds.

Unit Question: How can you support other things in life? TOP BRICCKK: All of them Area of Interaction: Human Ingenuity How do we create? What are the consequences?

Investigate: 1. What is the problem? We must create a tower of toothpicks that can hold up to 50 pounds. 2. What are the design specifications? - Our bridge should cross over an index card. - Our bridge should be 4-5 inches high. - Our bridge should be 3-4 inches wide. - Our bridge should hold at least 50 pounds, IF NOT MORE. 3. Materials? - Toothpicks - Hot glue gun

Plan/Design: Our plan is to create the tower day by day and make sure to have progress everyday. We want to have everything done by the end and hope for a successful project. We want to basically go over how we're going to create it to make sure it meets all the requirements.

Design: We must create a mediocre bridge and pretty much NOT PISS OFF BRADFIELD. We all sat down and drew out a plan of a bridge that we wanted. Our design was vague and sketchy, but it still turned out well. We should have payed more attention to the requirements because we kind of failed at that.

Create: We're going to construct a tower of toothpicks.

Evaluate: We were unaware of the requirements and realized what they were once we finished the bridge. Regardless, our bridge still withheld 130 lbs.
