I worked strategically with the team. We followed the lab sheet, created a plan, built towers, and completed our lab report. I also worked on this project at home and found and then reported more ways to successfully build note card towers

I worked strategically with the team. We followed the lab sheet, created a plan, built towers, and completed our lab report.

Our team attempted to make a tower. We used some strategy and had some success. We partially completed lab report.

Our team was unable to work together; we did not build a tower, and we were unable to complete a lab report.
