The Paper Tower

For advisory, we did a paper tower that should hold fifty grams. During the activity, The Paper Tower, I was a critical thinker because when the tower was falling, I found a way to make it stand. And we all got a good idea at the beginning.

Those are the two student outcomes I showed the most during this activity.
