Students working together completed the Marshmallow Challenge in class. This activity allows students to get to work collaboratively, think critically, and get to know one another. Boys and girls are given a roll of tape and 20 pieces of spaghetti. As a team they have to design and build a structure that is strong enough to hold a marshmallow. This is a great problem solving activity.
