TUESDAY: TOWER CHALLENGE
I can work as a team to accomplish a goal.
1. The city of Legopolis is getting crowded. It needs more housing for all the new minifigures moving into town. They only have 1 square block to build the housing and a limited budget (only afford 50 bricks). Whatever they build, it must be strong (can hold a tennis ball) and safe to keep its members safe.
To test your structure, the tennis ball will be placed on the highest brick of your tower. It must stay on top and not roll off or cause your tower to break. The tower must be at least 14 inches tall.

Lets fill out the Engineering Design Page as a class.
2. You will move to the lab table the teacher assigns. Have a discussion with your group and develop a plan.
Then you may begin building. If you complete the challenge, everyone in the group give me a thumbs up.
Do you need to improve to complete this challenge? What could be done to make it better even if you did solve it the first time?
3. If your group finished early, you may play these games below.
4. Clean up. Log off and wait to line up.
