Today, we started our integrated Science module.
The task for use was to make a structure using solely newspaper (x4 sheets), that is both tall and stable at the same time.
It was challenging as the newspaper was flimsy and it tore easily. Our end product did not work out because of several issues:
1. The gravity was not low and not in the centre
2. The surface areas for the base was too small
We were too focused on trying to make the structure tall, that we forgot to consider how stable the structure would be. This led to the downfall of our structure and it could not balance because it was too tall and leaned to one side.
However, from this experiment, I learnt how important it is to consider several factors and decide how to build the structure first before actually carrying out the actual plan.
