Introduction:
“Studies by Brazilian scientists point to the interesting fact that the pyramids have been able to fly in the past. However, many people cannot imagine this and are very skeptical about this information. The task of your team will be to confirm this study and prove to the world that the pyramids were once really able to fly.”
Instructions:
In this activity, the goal of each team is to build a pyramid of provided plastic cups together. However, the task does not end here. The team must keep the built pyramid in the air together for at least 15 seconds to fulfill the task. It must not fall apart while the pyramid is in the air. If the pyramid falls apart, the team must rebuild the pyramid and try again.
