As part of our Electricity and Energy topic we tried a technology challenge - to make a model pylon using newspaper. It had to be a tower that would be at least 1 metre tall and hold a rope 1m off the ground, be self supporting and use only minimal tape. We also wanted to work well as a group and listen to each other's ideas. Everyone did really well - with a couple of huge successes in the design and build of the models and hard thinking by everyone.
Kayla was telling me about this. It sounded really good fun and very interesting. Your pylons look very impressive. Mrs S Muir
ReplyDeleteHi class 5.I think the idea to make model pylons out of newspaper is great.I think my group could have made our model a bit more stable.I would like to ask how triangles make it more stable? I hope we do something else like this soon from Jessica.
ReplyDeleteHi class 5.I liked making the pylon models.I hope we get more to make more things with spills.I hope we get more time if we do it again.

Hi class 5. Our models look awesome. It was fun and we enjoyed making them.
ReplyDeleteI hope we do more technology activities. I hope next time we do a windmill. Scott
Hi class 5. I liked making the models but we did not get finish and we could of added some triangles. We did not get to use the rope because it fell over. It was very fun. I hope to do more technology. From Ryan.
ReplyDeleteHi class 5. We worked in group of 3 or 4 group's. It would of been nice if we got more time to practise makeing stronger spills. We needed to make more triangles in our pylon. Good luck class 5 Andrew
ReplyDeleteHi p5.I think the pylon idea is GREAT. I think we could put more triangles.Are we going to do more building? from logan
ReplyDeleteHi class5.I love the models but I think my group rushed it and did not take their time so maybe next time we can take our time. I hope we do moar things like making pylons because It is a fun topic to do. Evie
ReplyDeleteHi class 5. My group's pylon didn't work because it wasn't stable. My group's one was over a metre high .

Hi class 5
ReplyDeleteWe were making some pylons as a group.We made the pylon models out of spills made of newspapper . They had to be at least 1 metre high to hold up the ropes.I really enjoyed using spills. I really would like to do some more stuff to do with spills.

Hi Class 5 . Our model did work when we built it but didn't work when we tested it because the spills were not thin and strong enough. I hope we get to do it again. from Logan H
ReplyDeleteHi class 5. We used paper to make a tower and we worked in a group to make them. Then we went to try them outside. Then we tied a rope to them. I wish we had more time to it. Victoria
ReplyDeleteHi class 5 our pylon was not that stable we need to make more stable next

Hi class5.
ReplyDeleteIt was so fun getting to work together as groups. It was also grate doing such amazing
things to do with are topic just with news paper and tape.
I had grate fun! from Chloe
Hi p5,I think making theese was great fun. We should make more models .Making the spills was hard at first. Some of the models were strong and some of them were weak. It was great fun we should do something like this again

Hi p5. Its a sham that some group`s did not finish the task. I can`t wait for more technology. From James.
ReplyDeleteclass 5. To make these modles we hadto make spills by rolling newspaper around an art straw.I relly liked making our pylons.If you made your oun pylons how high will it be. How many spills will you use and how many people will you have in your group.I hope you enjoy class 5. Cady
ReplyDeleteHello class 5 . Do you remember the model that you made.Was it hard? Adam
ReplyDeleteHello class5. It was fun making the models but hard work. Everyone in my group worked hard . Our model wasn't to stable but we still had fun. Do you like the post to ? Douglas
ReplyDeleteHi class 5. We got our model 1 metre high ,but it was not able to hold the rope. It was not stable and there was too much tape. I hope we do it again. from Kacey
ReplyDeleteHi class5. To make the models it was hard. We had to used spills by rolling them up with newspaper. And stick them together as a group it was verey competive being a genst very good modalmakers but I think my group did very well. by mitchell.
ReplyDeleteHi class 5.
ReplyDeleteWe made some pylons and it was realy fun and very very fascinating and I did find it a bit difficult but it was OK. It would be nice if we got more time. I would really like to do more. I wonder if anyone else enjoyed it. Hannah
Hi p5. We had to make spills out of papers and used art straws to wrap the paper around and put a tiny bit of tape on it. My teams one was a disaster. It kept on falling apart. I wish we could of had more time.
