Balloon Car Challenge.

Friday 26 July

Task: reflect on how your balloon car went.

---

Positives:

I think our idea was creative. I also think that our base was strong and the right size.

We used rubber bands to keep the wheels in place.

Negatives:

The wheels were too heavy to move.
The straws that we used were cardboard which was weak. 

What could we improve?

We could improve the wheels next time. We should use smaller and lighter wheels.
The wheels we used were too huge and heavy. We could also use plastic straws to
hold the wheels & balloons. Maybe coffee stirrers. 

Seismic Shake Up Challenge | Reflection.

Advantages of our structure:

• The roof was the shape of a triangle: strongest feature.

Disadvantages of our structure:

• The house was a shape of a square: weakest feature
• There was too many sticks that caused a lot go heft
• There wasn’t enough support

Something we learned:

• Triangle is the strongest shape in nature
• To work together | use teamwork
• To use triangular shapes to keep our building up.
