Geodesic dome

We made a geodesic dome out of newspaper. A geodesic dome is a structure like half of the giant golf ball at Epcot center.  We rolled newpaper to make tubes and cut them to two sizes 63 cm and 71 cm.  We then stapled them together in a pattern like triangles and stars.  The joints got to fat so we had to start taping.  We had to put a broom in the middle to hold it up.  We accidently made the base to big and had to add a few more rolls. We had to put lots of tape on the joints to make them strong and look for week tubes and taped them to make them stronger.  It was hard but fun!!!
