Marshmallow and Spaghetti Tower Challenge

Today in class, we had a challenge to create the tallest tower out of marshmallows and spaghetti. It was really difficult! The groups only had 10 marshmallows and 20 pieces of spaghetti each. Some groups realised they could break the marshmallows up into smaller pieces but then it got really messy!!

We learned lots about team work. Most groups had to work through some challenges where their groups didn't work together as well as they could. We talked about it afterwards to think about what did and didn't work. The biggest challenge was how to deal with people in the group who just wanted to eat all the marshmallows!!
