Today we explored how to make the shapes in structures stronger. Did you know something as flimsy as paper can be strong? Check out our designs in the gallery below. We discovered that triangles are strong shapes and that the heavier the roof (the objects that we put on our structures), the stronger the frame has to be.
Here are some questions we used to deepen and expand our thinking:
Tomorrow we will continue to explore how to make the shapes in structures stronger. We are going to attempt to build a paper skyscraper using only paper triangles! How can you shape the paper in a way to make a triangle strong enough to hold up a heavy book? How tall can we stack our triangles?
