nubiaspaghettitower

                               My Spaghetti Tower

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Building Permit/Accountant Report
 
 
 
 
67cm tall 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Group Evaluation
 
total spent/height = $340/67cm : $5.07/1cm
 
I had no dislikes about my tower because I was really proud of and liked that my group had made such a solid and very tall tower just out of our own creativity.
 
The biggest challenge about building the spaghetti tower was getting it to stand strong and be tall at the same time.  At first it did not want to stand, but then we decided to add side legs to hold it up.
 
Even if I had the chance to change my tower and make it better, I wouldn't because my group had the strongest tower in the class at the height of 67cm.
 
Self Evaluation
 
I thought that this activity was lots of fun and it gave us the opportunity to think and be creative.
 
Our design was not similar because it was a little less complex than the other designs.
 
If I could add something to my tower it would be tape to hold down the base.
 
I contributed a lot of the design ideas and also help put the design together.
