The materials we used were soup cans that were mostly the same size with one or two that were a little bigger and a little smaller than average. At first we tested to see if we could set the can on their sides but they rolled around too much. The flat base of the cans allowed us to stack them high. The first photo is of our small group's design. We were going for a pyramid but I see a Greek temple when I look at it. The bottom cans represent columns and the top three represent the top of the temple. As a whole we decided to build the Pyramids of Giza (second photo below) because we could provide depth and volume as well as represent all three structures. The activity taught me that if you combine different materials you can produce something greater than if you were to use one type of material.
Above is our interpretation of a light fixture made out of soup cans.
