In spectra, we do tons of hand on brain bending activities like these. This particular experiment, required a pool noodle, toothpicks, and 3 cups. With these elements, my team and I worked well together by trying different techniques to build the tallest structure. The process that my team used was process of elimination by figuring out which techniques worked and which did not. We did not meet the final standards though, our structure could not stand on it's own. We did not do ours like other people did theirs, we did not make our base out of pool noodles which is also something that I would have done differently. I would have made our base stronger by incorporating the noodles. All in all, it was a fun project.
