Animal Name: aldrabra tortoise!

Dear aldrabra tortoise! Why is your shell so depressing?

Wow how rude! My shell is only a dark shade so a hawk won't spot me all through the sand and dry Savannahs. I'm glad
that my shell is not as colourful as a parrot so I don't die!

Dear aldrabra tortoise! what does your shell do to protect you?
You probably don't know why shell is so thick it does protect me from predators. Most important of all my shell is
thick so when I'm on dry land it keeps me from being dehydrated!

Basketball Tower STEM Challenge

BASKETBALL TOWER REFLECTION

What was the hardest part of this challenge for you? Why?

The hardest part was probably working together because we were building our individual tower parts.

What worked really well in this challenge for you ? Why?

What worked well for my team was when we went up to share our presentation to see if the tower would hold the basketball and it surprisingly didn't roll of the table because our tower was just a stack of newspaper taped together.

What value did you mostly have to show in this challenge and why?

I showed Create because when we were building our parts for our tower they were very strong.  At the end  we ended up not having enough time to put our tower parts together but our parts were still very strong!

What question do you now have because of this challenge?

What would happen if I added less tape?
