3. 3 Activity 2  To encourage design, planning and team work! Using only the sheets of newspaper you are given and the tape, construct a tower that will support an object I place on it The winning construction will be the tallest one measured from the ground to where the object is supported. You may NOT attach the tower to anything, even the floor, I should be able to lift up the entire structure if I needed to. The tower must be able to support a full juice box You have 20 minutes starting now to plan and build http://www.online-stopwatch.com/full-screen-stopwatch/ Valuable Prizes for the winning team
