Welcome to Tower Building

This team-building activity challenged students to build the tallest free standing structure from newspaper and tape. Students worked collaboratively to design and build their tower. The outcome was a variety of towers ranging from short to tall.

Let the tower building begin . . .

. . . make a mess if needed . . .

Will it stand alone???

Some groups used the wide-base approach . . .

Going up . . .

. . . . standing alone!

Some needed a little help to stand

Are we the tallest ????

 

How can we get it to stand alone?

And the winner is . . . .

. . . a tall free-standing tower! Congratulations!
