1. If you know that your structure needs to support weight you will reinforce the base more while if it needs to be taller it will be more fragile force more height.
2. yes time limits should be a factor because it causes people to think on there feet and causes stress making it so if you can remain calm then you can build a better structure
3. collaboration is very important because its important to divide the work equal so you can turn out a better structure in the end by making every one contribute more to the project
4. to the roof (around 3 meters)
5. 3 textbooks were supported
6. we cut and folded paper so it would reach the roof
7. are strategies worked the best but generally a wider base to a narrow top as well as a triangle base to support and save on materials
8. short and a wide base that was reinforced to spread out the load of the textbook
9. structures that were separate supports that were unattached didn't work as well as supports that were narrow because they were impossible to balance and the books would fall to one side. Also if the paper wasn't properly supported with the noodles the papers would buckle under the weight and wouldn't work
10. the 4 separate supports all attached by noodles, that project was the winner and it seemed like the best idea anyone had
