Marshmallow Challenge
Posted by Carlene GordonOur fourth graders are up for any challenge…but especially one titled, “The Marshmallow Challenge.” Students were given precise measurements of tape, spaghetti, string and one marshmallow. The challenge was to build the tallest free-standing structure possible with the marshmallow on top. This was a lesson in design-failure-redesign. We learned that things often need to be redesigned multiple times before a viable solution is reached and failure does not mean the end. We also learned that scientists support and help each. Great resilience and team building skills emerged in the fourth grade science classroom today!
