Ask 12312138 https://padlet.com/12312138/blea1567cwwx/wish/143234511 We had to create a tower only using Spaghetti noodles and Marshmallows, we had to come up with ways to do build it.]]> 2016-12-12 20:10:27 UTC https://padlet.com/12312138/blea1567cwwx/wish/143234511 2. Imagine 12312138 https://padlet.com/12312138/blea1567cwwx/wish/143234901 We thought of some cubes stacking up, but our plans didn't work out so well when we had to build it. then we just went with some pyramids.]]> 2016-12-12 20:11:56 UTC https://padlet.com/12312138/blea1567cwwx/wish/143234901 3. Plan 12312138 https://padlet.com/12312138/blea1567cwwx/wish/143235597 We decided to do a four pyramids at the bottom, it was okay until we added the top.

We had to make sure the Spaghetti noodles didn't break or slip out of their places while we were building.

We had to decide which plan we wanted to go with first, and all of them weren't good. So we went with a new one, one we didn't write down in our notebooks

our budget was $40 we purchased 60 Spaghetti noodles and 50 Marshmallows.]]> 2016-12-12 20:15:02 UTC https://padlet.com/12312138/blea1567cwwx/wish/143235597 4. Create 12312138 https://padlet.com/12312138/blea1567cwwx/wish/143237016 We didn't write it down but, we ended up doing a pyramid.

No, we didn't reach the criteria of 24 inches. Our tower was 22 inches tall.

The hardest part was letting it go it had to have lots of support in order to stand up but in the end it ended up falling for the sticks above.

Nothing was easy.]]> 2016-12-12 20:21:16 UTC https://padlet.com/12312138/blea1567cwwx/wish/143237016 5. Improve 12312138 https://padlet.com/12312138/blea1567cwwx/wish/143473673 I would maybe consider making a more sturdier base to secure whatever is going to go on top.

Planning it more thoroughly, we just went imagining things that were too hard but we thought they were easy. In the end it got us to 22 inches.]]> 2016-12-13 19:50:10 UTC https://padlet.com/12312138/blea1567cwwx/wish/143473673 6. Communicate 12312138 https://padlet.com/12312138/blea1567cwwx/wish/143474929 Yeah, we tried our best but we still didn't reach our goal. We had to get to 24 inches but instead we made it to 22 inches.

We didn't goof around, and we kinda worked together also we listened to everyone's ideas there was no problem there.]]> 2016-12-13 19:54:23 UTC https://padlet.com/12312138/blea1567cwwx/wish/143474929 ~VOCABULARY~ 12312138 https://padlet.com/12312138/blea1567cwwx/wish/143475955 Tension: a pulling and stretching force
Compression: a pushing or squashing force

The noodles at the bottom were in compression, also the marshmallows had to stretch they were in lots of tension. The noodles at the top weren't as in much compression as the bottom.
