Activity: Newspaper Tower Handout - PBS
WEBWhat's the tallest tower you can build using only two sheets of newspaper? Here's the challenge: getting the newspaper to stand up, without using tape, staples, glue, or other materials.
WEBToday, you will be working as civil engineering design teams to take on a design challenge to construct a model tower using only newspaper, tape, and scissors. Your team will be given a set amount of supplies and a time limit of one class period (constraints) to complete this design challenge.
WEBIntegrating the Scientific Method into project based learning. Involves designing and constructing a free standing tower from newspapers. Involves creative design, analysis of structural concepts, construction skills (with paper), and concepts of stability.
Newspaper Tower | Science Project - Science Buddies
WEBAbstract. Predict how tall you can build a tower using only two sheets of newspaper as building material. You can't use tape, glue, staples, or anything else, just two sheets of newspaper. You can tear, bend, cut, or fold the newspaper. Try it out and see how close you can come to your prediction.
