cn tower.

We were faced by another challenge in Physics class. We had to build a structure only out of 4 sheets of newspaper and a table wide strip of tape. We had to build a structure that had to be as high as possible and one that was very sturdy.

The CN Tower in downtown Toronto was one of the tallest man made structure from 1975-2007! It was the record holder for many years and definitely many people visited this building and still do today. The CN Tower is 553.3 m. We sort of based our model based on the CN Tower because we made the base stronger and heavier.

What makes the CN Tower so tall is the additional rod at the top attached to the viewing deck. So in our structure we incorporated this idea. We tried to make a strong and heavy paper of the material we had and save one piece of newspaper and make the thinnest rod we could make. We did this by ripping the newspaper into 4 large strips and rolled them as tightly as possible and then attached them. Adding an additional piece of tape we were able to make our structure even taller.
