D&T Lighthouses
We worked together in teams to create newspaper towers and tested their strength with different weights.
We explored the use of trusses and buttresses to strengthen our structures and researched where we have seen similar structures in real life.
We tested the strength of our structures with spaghetti and marshmallows. Then, we composed an electrical circuit to put into our Lighthouse model. We had great fun working as a team to create our final design and threading the crocodile clips and bulb through our model!
