Tennis ball tower Whetu challenge

Tennis Ball Tower Challenge




Today for our Whetu Challenge we worked in a group to build a tower out of newspaper, 2 straws and sellotape. We needed to make our tower strong enough to hold a tennis ball and be able to stand alone (not leaning on anything or needing support).




Today I worked with Oscar and Cody.




At first we had trouble with sticking the newspaper on.




The easiest thing was cutting the Sellotape.




The best part of our tower was that the newspaper was strong enough to hold itself up.




Our tower looked really skinny so it could be strong.




In the end it was awesome but at the top, it was not strong enough to hold the ball so we had to hold the ball are self and then it was strong to hold the tower by itself.
