The tallest building

Planning

1. You have 5 minutes to plan your structure before you start building.

2. During this time, you will “shop” for your materials. Try to estimate as best you can, as you will lose points for taking too much or too little materials!

Building

1. You have 15 minutes to construct each building.

2. All buildings will be measured at the end of the time limit, but you may have your building measured multiple times throughout the activity.

3. You can rebuild your building as much as you want, but whatever is standing at the end of the time period is what will count as your final measurement.

4. ONLY use the materials you select during the planning phase. If you run out of materials, you can get more, but you will have a small penalty.

5. Your building must stand ON ITS OWN and remain standing while being measured - no leaning against the wall, taping to the floor, magic, etc.

6. Give your buildings creative names!
