=__Research Project Proposal__: Strength of Geodesic Domes=  For my research project I have decided to look into the strength of geodesic domes. I will do this by creating several geodesic domes out of newspaper following the instructions on science buddies. Each of these domes will be made up of 65 newspaper “tubes” and each dome will be a different size. I will vary the size by varying the length of each single “tube”. I will test the weight each dome can hold by applying magazines one at a time onto the top of the dome until it collapses. I will weigh each magazine before hand so I know how much weigh each dome holds.

__To undertake this project I will need:__  · **Many **, many newspapers · Masking tape · A tape measure · Markers (pens) · **Many ** magazines (for strength testing) · //Possibly some nice craft supplies for decorating my domes. //
