PYRAMID Materials: 12

straws,20 paperclips ,several strips of construction paper.

out of straws. A cube can be

stronger with triangles so I put pyramids inside.

COLUMNS Building

columns! We used paper

rolls to see how many books it could hold and see if it was stronger if we put salt in it.

Used clay and rolled it up on the paper roll.
