Then we decided to build it like a hut. ]]> 2017-02-08 19:50:55 UTC https://padlet.com/12181097/ecrkk0j9uohw/wish/152602037 12181097 https://padlet.com/12181097/ecrkk0j9uohw/wish/152603656 For our base we decided a square would give the best support for out tower. It did give a good support, it helped out tower balance. 
 Our constraints were that we could only use materials given by our instructor, spaghetti and mini marshmallows.
Our criteria was that it our tower had to be 18 inches tall.
Our budget was $40 and we spent $22.50 in total. We bought 30 noodles and 30 marshmallows.]]> 2017-02-08 19:55:35 UTC https://padlet.com/12181097/ecrkk0j9uohw/wish/152603656 12181097 https://padlet.com/12181097/ecrkk0j9uohw/wish/152606886 We choose to do the hut idea, but we still had a square base.
Our tower did reach 18 inches and we tried to build up more but our tower fell.
The hardest part about building our tower was probably trying to get it to stay balanced.
The easiest part at building our tower was probably making the base.]]> 2017-02-08 20:04:53 UTC https://padlet.com/12181097/ecrkk0j9uohw/wish/152606886 12181097 https://padlet.com/12181097/ecrkk0j9uohw/wish/152609119 I would probably build upward next time to make it more balanced.]]> 2017-02-08 20:11:11 UTC https://padlet.com/12181097/ecrkk0j9uohw/wish/152609119 12181097 https://padlet.com/12181097/ecrkk0j9uohw/wish/152609653 My role in my team was the leader, and I think I could have helped my tam more but I did help a lot with the math and ideas.
Our team works great together, we will listen to anyone's ideas.
I think I could of helped with the model more but I did do a lot of math and thinking.]]> 2017-02-08 20:12:47 UTC https://padlet.com/12181097/ecrkk0j9uohw/wish/152609653 12181097 https://padlet.com/12181097/ecrkk0j9uohw/wish/152610677 Tension: a pulling and stretching force
Compression: a pushing or a squashing force.
The noodles going upward were tension noodles the base were compressed.]]> 2017-02-08 20:16:08 UTC https://padlet.com/12181097/ecrkk0j9uohw/wish/152610677 12181097 https://padlet.com/12181097/ecrkk0j9uohw/wish/152612875 2017-02-08 20:23:25 UTC https://padlet.com/12181097/ecrkk0j9uohw/wish/152612875 12181097 https://padlet.com/12181097/ecrkk0j9uohw/wish/152613258 2017-02-08 20:24:42 UTC https://padlet.com/12181097/ecrkk0j9uohw/wish/152613258
