I used the Tower Challenge last year. This year I am increasing the time to 15 seconds and the height to 2" from the surface because many groups were easily able to hold up at least 2 textbooks for well over 5 seconds. Each group (or each student depending if the individual has printer paper at home) will need only 2 sheets of printer paper. Since I will be teaching virtually, I also want to be sure my students will go through each iteration fully so I split the document into 2 parts- will not release part 2 until after everyone finishes part 1 and discusses their answers to “Evaluate and Improve.”
