How strong is a piece of Spaghetti? Can it hold up an Algebra book? 
No Way!
First we tested with a little block, our spaghetti broke! 
Then we added a few more -



 We could hold up a little block.... 



 We added more strands and we could hold up a Composition book....


Or two, or three!!





The algebra book was tough! But Victor discovered that if he put his spaghetti facing inward he got more support and the others noticed that outward facing spaghetti gave us more stability - so everyone started adding spaghetti in various directions....Tada!!!!
