This is a lesson plan for a second class on constructing a new tower for Rapunzel and her Prince to live in. It has to be build from a limited amount of materials provided (card, elastic bands, straws). It is a group work activity with roles assigned. They are challenged with building it high enough to see the surrounding kingdom but strong enough to withstand passing giants stomping by or big bad wolves having a go at blowing it down. They will have a limited time to plan and another amount of time to work collaboratively on the construction and to test the stability and this task will include peer assessment.
