¡Jeremiah Johnson needs your help!

1st Practice: The training.

Build a cube 

Use spaghetti split in two and marshmallows to build a cube. Is it stable?

Place spaghetti as diagonals on the sides of the cube, do you find it more stable now? 

Build a pyramid 

Make a square with spaghetti split in two and marshmallows. Add four halves to build a pyramid, as in the picture. Would you say that this structure is stable?

Experiment with other constructions.

2nd Practice: The tower. 

Build a tower of at least 40 cm high bearing in mind the following conditions:

• Must not collapse, meaning i must be strong. Your structure will withstand the weight of a playmobil on the top.
• Must not topple over, meaning it must be stable. You will achieve stability building the base wider than the top.
• Must not be too pliable, meaning it must be rigid. Think about triangulated sructures.
