Today was the last day
of our Speed Stacking PE Unit. Our class created a giant pyramid with a base of
20 cups! We used 107 cups in total.
We used a special and
simple way to assemble the pyramid. We lined up in 4 lines, and the person at
the front of each line added a cup from a stack of 12 and walked to the back of
their line when the teacher called. The pyramid was soon as tall as or taller
than Greg Sellers, the tallest person in our class. He is nearly 5 ¼ feet tall!
The
teacher then told us to guess how many cups could be pulled from the bottom
before getting the tower to topple. I guessed two next to each other, and I was
right. The tower toppled from left to right, the opposite of the picture. It
was tremendously interesting to watch the tower topple. It literally
disintegrated with cups sliding down the sides until all that remained was a
big pile of cups.
