Science lab procedure 

Background/Introduction: For science class we are going to be working with the scientific and to learn it we are going to be doing project wee we make a tower as tall as me can make it out of 50cm of tape and 2 pieces of paper.

Question
Can we build a paper tower that is 160cm tall but using 2 pieces of paper and 50cm of tape.

Research
To build a paper tower that is 160cm tall we are going to have to use thin tubes that are strong and that are stable. we are going to have to use minimal tape to stick them together and have a strong base that will be able to hold up the structure.

hypotheses
My hypotheses is that if we make a tower using the paper wisley and the tape sparingly and use center of gravity and a good structure then we would be able to reach a height of 160cm. Because 160cm is not that tall.

 

Procedure

1. We take the one peices of paper and hot dog fold them over and over until you have 8 pieces. 

2. With the other you Hamberger fold it and then cut it leave on the side for stand buy.

3. Then roll the 8 strips of paper in to nice strong tubes and use little tape to stick them together make sure when you stick them together they are all vertical.

4. Then after you are done it should look like this but it will not be standing yet.
5. Now you have to make the cone take one of the halfs from the paper you cut earlier. Cut into a circle and follow the diagram below. and when done cut a hole just big enough so the tubes can fit nice a snug.

6. Now when attaching you stick the tubes until it is going through and touching the ground then tape around the hole to join them.

7. Find the center of gravity on let the tower stand and then take its measurement.
