Soaring Towers

How tall can your tower get? Implement shapes, building strategies, teamwork, and prediction in this interactive tower activity. Learners discuss past experiences with stacking materials, recalling ways they kept it from falling over. Then, teams use provided materials to create their own towers. They debrief, concluding what created the best foundation, middle, etc. Variations for differentiation are provided, and learners can predict the height based on changing factors.
