Designing Structures

By cq11ax
  • Design

    Brainstorm ideas with your architectural team. What materials would work best for your design? How tall and how wide should it be? How should everyone contribute to the project? Think about the question and address any foreseeing issues.
  • Build

    Once you have an action plan in place, start building your structure. Make sure every team member contributes. Use the materials in your brainstorming process. Refine the plan if needed.
  • Test

    Use your final design and test how many pennies it can withstand before breaking. Record the number of pennies. Compare your results to the other groups. What went well and what could you do differently next time?
