engineering

Today we had to build a tower out of sticks and those things you put on a binder. I think that what we did this morning was fun because you were allowed to use your imagination to build a tower. The tower was more than two feet high but I kind of destroyed it because I added too much to it so it fell over. I think it was a great idea to voice record what we thought of it. Now our thoughts are recorded. For me engineering is a great thing to do. I love it. I was paired up with two third graders. At least I think they were third graders. One of them was named Evan and the other I forget what he was called. The problem was we didn't have a good base and it was too high. Some of the other people had the same idea as us. Some others were to short. I forgot to mention that it had to be at least two feet tall. Ms.White said whoever had the tallest tower that could stand on its own would get to take there iPods home for winter break. It turns out we all get to take them home because she does not believe in only letting one person get something and the other person doesn't. The iPods really helped with the project. Without the iPods we would have had to use a camera or something or we might not have been able to have done it at all. iPods are wonderful. In the clip I said that I pretty much destroyed the tower. I think it was a very funny clip because Evan in the end said "It feels bad to lose" I added the words"yes, it does".
