Marshmallows.... at school?

Hi!

This week is the first week of term 3.

We have done lots of fun things already but I chose to blog about a challenge we did.

It is called the marshmallow challenge where we have to build a tower using:

- 20 hard spaghetti sticks

- 1 marshmallow

- 1 metre of tape

- 1 metre of string

The one thing we had to do was make sure the marshmallow is on top since the top of the marshmallow is how high the tower gets measured.

The purpose of this challenge was to improve teamwork.

I was in a group with Mia, Nikita and Grace.

Together we thought of a plan of how to make sure it's secure and doesn't fall.

Once we had a plan we started building.

Here are some pictures of the process and the final measurement.

Our groups final measurement was 51.5 centimeters.

I think that this was a very fun team challenge to do.

We learnt some new things about towers and how to make it so everyone gets something to do.

Would you try this challenge? How high could you get it? Have you tried it before?

After we did the challenge we saw a video of lots of adults doing it and learnt that really young kids do the best since they do more then one try at it.

Until next time...

Bye!
