HAMS Students Build Paper Towers in Contest

HAMS Students Build Paper Towers in Contest

Students worked on building paper towers in their science classes. This is actually a competition between all of the HAMS science classes to see which team can build a paper tower that is as tall as possible and can support a can of food at the top. The final score depends on both the height of the tower and the amount of paper used. The winning team will win gift certificates to the union and videos of the projects will be sent to the Tallest Paper Tower Engineering Challenge where they will have the chance to win $1000 for the school!

In Ms. Quinn's class, a group of students tested their towers, and all of them were able to hold the can for 60 seconds.  All the kids had fun building these and watching their structure successfully holding strong.
