My Strong Structure

By Vincent

I made my structure by wrapping cards to make a cylinder and we took two cards and we taped them together and put them on top. It had ten columns and we put two cards on top to hold more weight.

I put the weight in the middle. I put it there because we had books and more columns so that it can hold more weight. I was surprised that our structure held 14 books because we did not make it to hold that much.

At first I had a 2 level house and we tested it and it collapsed. We decided to take some ideas from Jin and Bryan and since we made changes it held more.

I learned that columns are helpful in supporting weight.
