Purpose
We wanted to find out how much weight a spaghetti could hold before the spaghetti broke.
Method
We put one spaghetti between two tables with a twenty cm gap.
Then we tied a cup to the spaghetti and we put blocks and weights in the cup.
When the spaghetti broke we picked up the blocks and we worked out how much weight was in the cup.
We then did the experiment again but with two spaghetti
we then did the same thing as last time
Then we did three, four, and five strands of spaghetti

Whiria te tangata
Weave the people together
my graph shows as we had more spaghetti it could hold more weight

ReplyDeleteWell done, you've given a good overview of your experiment with spaghetti. I like the analogy you've given to your whakatauki, that's awesome! Whiria te tangata seems so appropriate in this instance.
Do you think you could do a similar experiment where people act it out? I wonder what that could look like or maybe they could try weaving some harakeke to see how strong it would need to be to hold different volumes of mass? It could be an interesting art work.
So, how much weight could spaghetti hold before it broke?
