Presentation transcript:

HOW TALL CAN MY GOLF BALL GO? YOU ARE PART OF A TEAM OF ENGINEERS GIVEN THE CHALLENGE OF BUILDING THE TALLEST TOWER YOU CAN BUILD USING ONLY STRAWS, PIPE CLEANERS, AND PAPERCLIPS YOU DO NOT NEED TO USE ALL THE MATERIALS, BUT YOUR TOWER MUST SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF A GOLF BALL FOR TWO MINUTES. THE GOLF BALL MUST BE SUPPORTED NEAR THE TOP OF THE TOWER, WITH THE BOTTOM OF THE BALL NO MORE THAN 20% BELOW THE UPPER HEIGHT OF THE TOWER. Planning and Design THINK ABOUT THE DIFFERENT WAYS YOU CAN BEND OR CHANGE THE SHAPE OF STRAWS, PIPE CLEANERS, AND PAPER CLIPS. YOU MAY CUT THESE ITEMS, BUT CANNOT USE TAPE OR OTHER MATERIALS TO CONNECT THEM TOGETHER. IN THE BOX BELOW, DRAW YOUR PLAN FOR THE TOWER.

CONSTRUCTION PHASE BUILD YOUR TOWER AND TEST IT TO SEE IF IT CAN SUPPORT THE GOLF BALL. THEN, ANSWER THE QUESTIONS BELOW: 1.HOW SIMILAR WAS YOUR DESIGN TO THE ACTUAL TOWER YOU BUILT? 2. IF YOU FOUND YOU NEEDED TO MAKE CHANGES DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE, DESCRIBE WHY YOUR TEAM DECIDED TO MAKE REVISIONS. 3. DID YOU USE ALL THE PARTS PROVIDED TO YOU? WERE ANY OF THE PARTS USED ONLY TO INCREASE THE HEIGHT OF THE TOWER?

PRESENTATION AND MEASUREMENT PRESENT YOUR TOWER TO THE CLASS AND HAVE YOUR TEACHER MEASURE THE HEIGHT OF THE TOWER. BEAR IN MIND THAT THE GOLF BALL MUST BE SUPPORTED NEAR THE TOP OF THE TOWER, WITH THE BOTTOM OF THE BALL NO MORE THAN 20% BELOW THE UPPER HEIGHT OF THE TOWER. IF THE BOTTOM OF THE BALL IS MORE THAN 20% BELOW THE TOP, YOUR TOWER WILL BE DISQUALIFIED. COMPLETE THE BOX BELOW FOR YOUR TOWER: O VERALL HEIGHT OF THE BOTTOM OF THE BALL ON / IN TOWER D ISTANCE FROM BOTTOM OF GOLF BALL TO TOP OF TOWER P ERCENTAGE OF TOWER SUPPORTING GOLF BALL

E VALUATION C OMPLETE THE EVALUATION QUESTIONS BELOW : 1. D ESCRIBE THE SHAPE OR CONSTRUCTION OF THE TOWER THAT WAS THE TALLEST AND WON THE CHALLENGE ? H OW WAS THIS TOWER DIFFERENT FROM YOURS, IF YOURS DID NOT WIN ? 2. I F YOU HAD A CHANCE TO DO THIS PROJECT AGAIN, WHAT WOULD YOUR TEAM HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY ? 3. D O YOU THINK THAT THIS ACTIVITY WAS MORE REWARDING TO DO AS A TEAM, OR WOULD YOU HAVE PREFERRED TO WORK ALONE ON IT ? W HY ? 4. I F YOU COULD HAVE USED ONE ADDITIONAL MATERIAL ( TAPE, GLUE, WOOD STICKS, FOIL -- AS EXAMPLES ) WHICH WOULD YOU CHOOSE AND WHY ? 5. D O YOU THINK THAT ONCE A BUILDING IS DESIGNED AND APPROVED FOR CONSTRUCTION THAT MANY ASPECTS ARE CHANGED DURING THE BUILDING PROCESS ? W HY OR WHY NOT ? 6. H OW LONG DO YOU THINK IT WILL TAKE BEFORE A BUILDING IS CONSTRUCTED THAT SURPASSES THE HEIGHT OF THE B URJ K HALIFA ? W HERE DO YOU THINK IT WILL BE BUILT ? W HY ?
