Leaning Tower of Pisa


Tree Stumps with their "Leaning Tower of Pisa."

On Friday in Room 8 the class took place in another science/technology challenge, with this one being titled the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The class got into groups of three and four and were given:

- 1 meter of masking tape
- 20 spaghetti sticks
- 4 bbq sticks
- A line of egg carton
- Some blu tac.

With this the class was given ten minutes to plan what it was they were going to design and how they would go about doing it. They then would get the equipment needed and have 30 minutes to complete the task.

They would then be judged on height and a story that they have come up with for their towers name, in Italian to realte back to our international language which is Italian.

A lot of fun was had doing this and I also believe some spaghetti eaten at the end too!
