I was actually pretty disappointed with how my carrot and toothpick cube turned out. It was only able to hold 5 books before it collapsed, and that’s not that good, but what happened happened. I saw some other people’s though, and their’s were incredible! Some people were able to have their project hold up a stack of books! I couldn’t believe it. I can’t believe that the simple materials that we use to make our projects are able to hold up such weight. I guess it’s all about the structure, really. Not so much the material, but more the structure. (For our kinds of projects, with the materials we use, not actual structures, all though the structure of the structure is important) I used the triangle structure in the four corners of my cube, but I guess I just didn’t make my structure as well as I should have. It was my first time making a structure out of toothpicks and carrots to hold up books though, so I was obviously not going to be perfect. I also spent so long on it, changing the structure, and trying to make it better than before. I think that I should’ve done two things; made the carrot slices thicker, (I think that I made them too thin and too small, so they didn’t work well) and I shouldn’t have worn out my toothpicks. I kept changing my structure as I said, and I was ripping the toothpicks out of the carrots, so I think I might’ve worn them out and made them weak, so they weren’t able to hold up the books as well. Anyway, I certainly learned from the project, so because of that, I enjoyed it.
