| Description | Students learn about material reuse by designing and building the strong and tall towers using only the provided selection recycled materials and meeting given design constraints. They test their model towers in shaking/earthquake and high-wind/hurricane simulations, then redesign for improvement before retesting. Students learn about material reuse by designing and building the strongest and tallest towers they can using only recycled materials. Teams brainstorm, sketch the best design and create the towers to meet the design constraints. Then they test their towers in earthquake and high-wind simulations, followed by redesigning, rebuilding and retesting. |
