While getting caught up on my reading in Feedly this early morning I came throughout a.
new comic from The Oatmeal. The comic is based on a 2012 BBC article titled.
How Tall Can a LEGO Tower Get? The comic and the short article triggered me to turn to YouTube for videos about building huge LEGO towers. YouTube did not dissatisfy me in my search for videos that discuss the math and physics highlighted in the BBCs post and The Oatmeals comic..

Applications for Education.
Prior to revealing trainees the article or the video discussed above, I d have them make guesses as to the response then write out lists of the variables that they can believe of that would affect how tall the tower could get. After they enjoy the video I d have a little classroom contest to see who can develop the highest tower with the LEGOs available in my class.

The video describes the math that was utilized by researchers at The Open University to figure how tall a LEGO tower would get prior to the blocks collapsed under their own weight. Of course, the mathematical answer presumes that the tower wouldnt topple over prior to reaching its maximum height.
