Tennis Ball Tower Challenge
Today for our Whetu Challenge we worked in a group to build a tower out of newspaper, 2 straws,
and sellotape. We needed to make our tower strong enough to hold a tennis ball and be able to stand
alone (not leaning on anything or needing support).

At first, we had trouble with keeping it straight at first it was tall but we want it to be

The easiest thing was rolling up the pole we made to pole it works out better than I thought.
The best part of our tower was connecting the two straw together to make it tighter Amy had the idea

to connect the to straw.
In the end, It made a tall tower at 73cm and it can hold a tennis ball on top.
You guys worked really well and I think your tower turned out great! Nicely supporting the tennis ball too.
