Okay, so we have a competition where we have to build with one 2x1 foot sheet of aluminum foil a structure as tall as possibly that can hold a ping pong ball for at least 5 secondsso far we have tried using a right angle base to help, but we need some more advice!!thanks, this is much appreciated!
Lot of raw veggies and triscuit crackersAlso start adding flaxseed into smoothies helps.
fruit and berries are high in fiber
Leafy vegetables like spinach, or vegetables like broccoli.
OatmealPlain, bland oatmeal offers an incredible amount of fiber for virtually no calories, especially if you cook it with water and not milkYou can also dress up your oatmeal with healthy fruit(Berries are also particularly low in calories)
thinking inside of the boxtriangles distribute weight the bestmake a structure resembling a radio tower and its triangular supports that are between the legsgo take a look at some com towers to see what I'm talking aboutthinking outside of the boxdid the teacher say that the ping pong ball had to be supported at the top of the structure? be much easier to support the ball near the base of the structure, and then make a very long 'antenna' didn't your teacher give you any rules to play by? if they didn't define the 'box', define your own 'box' also thinking outside of the boxwhere will this structure be tested? I'm guessing the ceiling is tile (the kind that pops up and is supported by a metal grid)? who says you cant just suspend your structure from the ceiling and make a rope out of your foil? height does not necessarily have to be measured from the ground/base although that is the common interpretationheight is basically a vertical measurement between the high and lowlook it up in the dictionary and be ready to argue with the teacher.
