Twis 15

This was us making the first tower.

This was our second tower.

This week we did the marshmallow challenge again. We did it at the beginning of the school year and  I guess David wants us to see how we have changed by using this project. we had our old group that we had for the first marshmallow challenge. once we were started to build our tower we couldn't speak only mouth words, act things out, and give each other notes. We started with drawing the shape we wanted, it was two cube on top each other and a four-sided pyramid on top. We put to much tape and the whole thing collapsed and was only 3cm tall. David let us build it again this time with out measuring, it fell but was much taller than the first one we did and that time we could talk to each other.

My team was Team Whole Wheat
I learned that working in groups is hard but can be good. We were communicating well even though we couldn't talk. Yet our tower still fell each time. our structures looked and seemed like the would stay up but they didn't.  I learned that a lot of tape will not make the tower stay at all. My group skills still have grown ,because im now much more comfortable working in a group.
