We are trying to make a base for our tower so it can stand up.]]> 2016-10-24 18:20:22 UTC https://padlet.com/12223162/bmdzn3hzsv3z/wish/132811776 2. Imagine 12223162 https://padlet.com/12223162/bmdzn3hzsv3z/wish/132815117 What are some possible solutions? 
How can we solve the problem?
We are brainstorming ideas.
Choose the best ideas.


Here are some of our ideas:]]> 2016-10-24 18:27:59 UTC https://padlet.com/12223162/bmdzn3hzsv3z/wish/132815117 3. Plan 12223162 https://padlet.com/12223162/bmdzn3hzsv3z/wish/132817925 List materials you need.
Draw a diagram.
Test your plan.
Record your results.

We made a square base for our tower. I think it gave a lot of  support.
Our constraint: Only using marshmallows.
Our criteria: Make a base for the tower to stand up.
Our budget: $25
We  Spent $23 on 30 noodles and 30 marshmallows]]> 2016-10-24 18:34:21 UTC https://padlet.com/12223162/bmdzn3hzsv3z/wish/132817925 5. Improve 12223162 https://padlet.com/12223162/bmdzn3hzsv3z/wish/132819370 Find ways to make your model better.
Revise your plan.
What can you do different next time?
Next time i would make a wider base and make the tower taller.
If the tower wasn't 24 in tall I would build one at home just to achieve my goal.]]> 2016-10-24 18:37:32 UTC https://padlet.com/12223162/bmdzn3hzsv3z/wish/132819370 4. Create 12223162 https://padlet.com/12223162/bmdzn3hzsv3z/wish/133426560 Construct your model.
Test your plan.
Record your results.

We chose the square base.
Our tower was 27 1/2 inches tall.
Getting the top part together and not knock everything over.
Nothing was easy.]]> 2016-10-26 17:59:43 UTC https://padlet.com/12223162/bmdzn3hzsv3z/wish/133426560 12223162 https://padlet.com/12223162/bmdzn3hzsv3z/wish/133434927 2016-10-26 18:18:31 UTC https://padlet.com/12223162/bmdzn3hzsv3z/wish/133434927 12223162 https://padlet.com/12223162/bmdzn3hzsv3z/wish/133435535 2016-10-26 18:20:03 UTC https://padlet.com/12223162/bmdzn3hzsv3z/wish/133435535 The Four C's 12223162 https://padlet.com/12223162/bmdzn3hzsv3z/wish/133436788 1.Communication

Compression: A pushing or squashing force.

I think the base of our tower was in compression and the top was in tension.]]> 2016-10-26 18:32:21 UTC https://padlet.com/12223162/bmdzn3hzsv3z/wish/133441141 6. Communicate 12223162 https://padlet.com/12223162/bmdzn3hzsv3z/wish/134724155 We achieved our goal.
I think everyone was working well.
I think next time we should all work TOGETHER instead of some people talking and some people working.]]> 2016-11-02 11:42:27 UTC https://padlet.com/12223162/bmdzn3hzsv3z/wish/134724155
