This activity is an exciting and highly interactive opportunity for students to exercise their creativity and design skills. Working in cooperative groups, students are challenged to explore the geometry of tower design and construction, first by experimenting with possible designs, and then by choosing the most likely design candidate and building the tallest tower possible, using only paper and tape. This activity is easily connected to social studies via discussion of the world’s tall towers or to human anatomy via discussion of the long bones of the body (which act like towers).
