Fibonacci tree - fun with mathematics

Here is a simple little project to create a Fibonacci tree from drinking straws.

Thanks for cake disposal 2nd meeting report

Hello everyone,
On Monday evening we examined how to stabilise the balloon and stop it falling over. I loved the way students used drinking straws. These were the bendy type and were attached to the cd's with blutak? The results were colourful and mostly effective with 5 to 6 metres being achieved. Well done to the student who also tried making a paper tube support.
Next session I want to give a short input regarding some mathematics. This will be followed by building a hovercraft kit. I have bought enough batteries for everyone.

Hopefully the following session will feature vacuum forming and more hovercraft making.
