LI: To create a screencastify and share your experience while building the design.
The above screencastify is the ninth task for this week of the Summer Learning Journey that I have completed today. In this Step it up activity I have showed the two attempts that conclude having a strong base is important in a structure. My first attempt is the perfect example as it covers all the three rules which are a strong base, a flat surface and equal sized materials but when it is compared with my second attempt it is a little wiggly due to a small base. After completing this activity I concluded that the base has a very strong impact on the durability of a structure. I loved completing this task because it was very knowledgeable and at the same time I also came to learn the science behind it which is the wider the base the more the weight can be spread. I am looking forward to complete other Summer Learning Journey activities as well.
Kia ora Sakshi,

Well done for creating these towers! I especially like that you experimented with different ways of building and then learnt from it. You are right that going smaller as you increase the height is a good idea. Although, I always find it more fun to make the wobbly towers!
Keep up the great blogging!
