—1. What did you contribute to your team?
—2. What do you think engineers have to consider when they suggest which materials would be best for a certain structure?
—3. What forces cause the tower to tip over?
—4. What features of the design helped your tower to reach new heights?
—5. After testing what changes did you make to your tower?
—6. Engineers early ideas rarely work out perfectly, How does testing help improve your design?
—7. What did you learn from watching others?

1. I design an emergency plan, and asked our group engineer to use triangle to be the foundation of the tower.
2. I think engineers have to consider about the are of thrust surface and the strength of materials.
3. For example in the case of marshmallow, the structure or foundation of the tower is not strong enough to handle the force which the marshmallow gives to the tower.
4. Use triangle or triangular pyramid to be the main structure of our tower. (like Giza Pyramid)
5. We change the shape of the foundation and make a place to put marshmallow for guaranteeing it won't fall.
6. Testing let us see how our design work, and we also can know where should we fix so that to improve our design.
7. ( Don't celebrate too soon:)
