We had to make little papers and fold them up into little columns. Then we either had a chance to get the Atkins A, where Mr. Atkins would stand on the columns and see if he could stand on it. Or we had to stack as much books as we can and weigh how much it was. We failed by not having enough columns that would hold Mr. Atkins up, because it was either not stable or the columns were too big or too small. Overturning was a big problem in our class. Overturning was when something tips over so that it is on its side or upside down.
This is really cool! I actually recently used this concept to build a tower in a contest. We did really well!
