In light of the recent hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean, Mrs. Myers’ fifth grade science class designed hurricane-proof buildings.
The Goal: Build the tallest building possible that can hold a tennis ball while withstanding a simulated hurricane (wind and water).
Points were calculated by multiplying the height of the building in inches by the fan speed(1, 2, or 3) by the seconds it stood (and held the ball) at the highest speed.
The top three buildings are pictured below.
