Building Our Own TALLEST Structure

In Physics class, we were assigned to build the "tallest structure" with simply just newspaper and tape. The point of this little activity was to get an understanding of how tall buildings can stand at such extreme heights, and also for us to know more about the center of gravity.

The structure we built in class was not carefully planned out before, and we started to building the structure off scratch without any clues on how everything worked. We made the structure itself first, and we tried to make a base that could possibly make it stand. However, we made a fatal mistake on the base, because it barely had any weights in it, and therefore it could not become the center of gravity and it could not stand in the end.
