INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1:  Using the toothpicks connect the cranberries to engineer the tallest structure in 15 minutes.
STEP 2:  Convey your design through sketches, drawings and a physical model, known as a prototype.

EXPLANATION
Using the engineering design process, which is a series of steps engineers use to guide them as they solve problems, you engineered the tallest cranberry structure. Go to www.hookedonscience.org for more experiments that might get you and your family “Hooked on Science.”
