The Marshmallow Challenge
The Year 5 & 6 Team get their engineering hats on!
Teams of 4/5 students were set a task to make the tallest freestanding structure they could using only the equipment provided. Each team was given 20 spaghetti sticks, 1 metre of string, 1 metre of tape and a marshmallow.
Teams had time to plan and then 30 minutes to build their freestanding structure.
Do you think that you could beat the height that these teams reached?
