1. Describe the shape or construction of the tower that was the tallest and won the
challenge? How was this tower different from yours, if yours did not win?
A: There is one main supporting straw in the middle and some supporting straws on the side. Ours was four supporting straws forming a square and they were connected with straws.

2. If you had a chance to do this project again, what would your team have done
differently?
A: We would have built it like the team that won.

3. Do you think that this activity was more rewarding to do as a team, or would you have
preferred to work alone on it? Why?
A: I prefer to work as a team, because teamwork makes projects a lot more easier.

4. If you could have used one additional material (tape, glue, wood sticks, foil — as
examples) which would you choose and why?
A: I would choose wood sticks, because they are tough.

5. Do you think that once a building is designed and approved for construction that many
aspects are changed during the building process? Why or why not?
A: No, because since the building is approved, it means it’s good to go.

6. How long do you think it will take before a building is constructed that surpasses the
height of the Burj Khalifa? Where do you think it will be built? Why?
A: I think it would take a long long time to build it. It would be built on strong ground, because there is less chance of it collapsing.
