Marshmallow and Spaghetti Towers

It's time for a fun science project. The class was divided into groups of two or three students each. I gave each group of students about one-third of a box of spaghetti noodles and 20 mini marshmallows. Then each group was given 40 minutes to plan out and then build the strongest tower they could with the materials given. It was so much fun to watch the groups talk through what structures would work well and how they wanted to go about the task. Some groups planned out how they wanted to build for at least 15 minutes while other groups began using the materials to try out different structures within seconds of my signal to begin. Every group was smiling and laughing quite a bit!

Madison, Bailey, and Erica had a lot of fun building their tower!
