Water Slide Challenge

For the science portion of Fun Friday, we were told to bring in an item for our group; we weren't told anything more than that. When we came to class, we found out we would have to make a water slide for a toy man and we would be judged on distance, safety and speed.





This is the final result of our water slide besides the end piece along with the man. For the end, we attached some more cardboard on the bottom so the little man wouldn't go flying. It worked really well once we got the water inside of the cardboard which was hollow for strategic purposes. If I were to change something about this structure, I would have built it on top of a table or chair outside so it was taller and also taken the top portion off of the slide. With the entire slide hidden practically, it made it hard to fit the plastic inside of it.
