Shape Science: Super Structures!

SCIENCE

SCIENCE

Try this engineering experiment and discover which tower is the strongest. Record your results on the opposite page.

Materials for your experiment:

Thick paper

Tape

Books

1 Place one tower

upright and begin stacking books on top of the tower.

2

Keep stacking the books until the tower collapses.

3

Make your towers:

Record your observations:

Circular tower

1

Count how many books you stacked on the tower.

Repeat with the other two towers.

To make a circular tower, simply roll a piece of thick paper and tape it together.

Which tower carried the most books?

3

Square tower

2

To make a square tower, simply fold a piece of thick paper three times to make the four sides of your tower, then tape it together.

Triangular tower

3

To make a triangular tower, simply fold a piece of thick paper twice to make the three sides of your tower, then tape it together.

DRAW HERE! what's going on?

The circular tower can support the most books because it doesn’t have any edges. The weight of the books is distributed evenly and across all parts of the tower. The square and triangular towers are not as strong because the weight of the books is focused at the edges making them weak.
