Well, when I finally went on zoom and saw the straw tower I just had to try it out because, I collect straws when I did it the first time it didn't stay but the next time I did it it stayed up just right.

We built tall sky scrapers in science class, using only 50 straws, 50cm of tape, & 25 paper clips. That is all!!! Our teacher got a ruler & laid it on top of our structure. She tied a piece of yarn on it, & attached the yarn to a bucket, which hung down from our structure. We put 657 grams in the bucket, then it collapsed!!! Our structure held the most grams!!! You try it like that!!!

When I was doing the staw tower it looked kool. When I was done I put some books on it. I put 6 books then it crashed. Then I did it once more. It did not work but that time it had 7 books. The 1st time I tryed this I used very little tape then the 2nd time I put more tape on it. This is why I think it would hold more because the tape was strong the 2nd time. It was stronger the 2nd time and not that strong the first time.

We made a straw tower, but used no tape. It was pretty short, and square-shaped. We could balance books on it and the tower would bounce like jell-o. Sometimes the staws would roll away. The staws were like shock absorbers.

First it stayed up because it had a lot of support but then we took the support away and it fell.
