Description

Students build the tallest freestanding tower using only cups. They explore ideas like balance, gravity, and stability. Students can work alone or in teams to brainstorm designs before building. Then they test their towers and see what works or fails. After that, they improve their designs which follows the engineering design process. The activity is designed for grades K-8. It usually takes about 30-45 minutes.
