Tension-A pulling or stretching force.

Compression-A pushing or squashing force.

The noodles at the bottom were compressed because of the wight of the tower. The noodles at the top were also in compression because of the gravity and its weight. The was no noodles in tension.

I think that I as the idea man/leader that I helped design and build the tower.

I do believe that most of the team worked well together. Sydney and Savanna and I listened to each others ideas and helped put the tower together(Aisha did not realy do anything).

As team leader I believe that I helped direct the team to build the tower. Also, I think that I helped by picking out the best design

I don't think that if we would do this again, I would change any thing.

So we ended up building the triangular based spire. The spire reached 27 inches tall passing the limit by three inches.

In truth, the tower was quite easy to build and there were no realy hard parts

I think the easiest part was the structure of the base. All we had to do was lay spaghetti out in a triangle and connect them with marshmallows.

Me and my team decided on a triangular base that connects and then leads up to a spire that shoots straight up. The base would give the tower support by separating the weight equally.

Constraints-We had only $40.00 to spend

Criteria- The tower had to be at least 24 inches toll and stand on its own for ten seconds before being measured.

We originally spent $17.50 for 30 noodles and 20 marshmallows but we didn't use all the materials so we gave back the ones we didn't use and, in the end, only spent $10.50.

We looked at several pictures and settled on this design but we came up with a few of our own as well. like having several marshmallows in circle with noodles in them that would connect at the top via marshmallow.

We had to create a marshmallow and spaghetti tower that was 24 inches tall and could stand on its own for 10 seconds before being measured.
