This is my Paper Chair Engineering Challenge.

S What is the science behind this challenge? 

To create a chair that can  hold a stuffed

animal using only paper and tape

Big enough for him to sit in 

Research this topic using books or

and the internet record any information you may find.

1.we need a six inch piece of paper.  

2.The paper should be divided

into 6 pieces  

3.we need to crease it well so

that it can break easily. 

4.Follow the instruction and rules

that we have been given.

 E What was your design solution for  this challenge? 

Make 4 sturdy rolls  of paper into a tube and leave

a little square piece of paper.

Then  wrap the paper tubes tightly with tape so that they don't come undone. ...

Tape the four legs to the seat of the chair 

and then just add on. 

M  What data can you record for this
challenge?

1. Record how much
2. tape and paper we use.
3. Record how much time 
4. we took
5. Record how much weight
6. it could lift.

Student Lab Sheet: Paper Chair Challenge                    

My Questions? Did I participate in my group? Did we work together? Did we complain about our chair?

Were you successful in the challenge? Why?

Yes because we were working together without no arguing

And we were doing what we were told.

What was the most difficult part of the challenge? 

 The most difficult part  of the challenge was
Sticking the tape onto both pieces of paper so that they would
stick together.

What was the best idea you came up with during this challenge?

Sticking little paper under our tubes so that it would
stand up properly so that it  would not fall down.

Did your paper chair work? Why or Why not?  

Yes Because we had stuck our little tubes in the right
position for the chair to stand up and we had
stuck little pieces of paper under the tubes so that it will stand
up straight and hold weight.

What type of chair design did you use? Why?

We had made it a high chair so that we could see if Our chair could the
teddy bear .Because if we had a low chair  that would be cheating and
we wouldn’t know if the chair would of held the teddy bear.

What did you learn about construction and engineering during this challenge? 

I had learnt that you can rip the paper by just folding it and creasing it so
that it will break.

I also had learnt that sticking little pieces of paper under the tube
would make it stand up  properly.
