# In STEM we looked at how strong paper was.

  ![Image of In STEM we looked at how strong paper was.](https://files.schudio.com/parkschool-3/images/blog/IMG_2903.jpeg)  9 September 2024

We made 3D shapes and then tried to see which shape could hold the most weight.

 Cylinders seem to be the strongest, especially when it was shorter.

Aaron chose to do a cylinder but a crease made it weak but it was still able to hold 14 books.
