Sample Question the Teacher will ask as you build. How will your roof

affect the home’s ability to be tested?

How could you strengthen the joints?

How could you broaden the base to give the house more support?

How does the number of toothpicks stuck into one gumdrop affect the strength of the joint?

We will share successes and failures so we can learn from one another.
