Marshmallow Towers



Marshmallow Towers

STEM CHALLENGE Week 6:
Today our challenge was to build the tallest tower out of marshmallows and straws. At first the children were excited, but after a while they found the challenge wasn't as easy as they had thought!

                                       


                         
 

This is what some of our students discovered....

    Kia ora Room 2,
    Room 1 at Kawakawa Primary has been looking at all your challenges on your blog. We think they look fun and quite challenging.
    Your marshmallow towers are awesome and we like that they are all different.
    Room 1 thought they looked easy to make when we saw your pictures but after reading your post we think they actually sound tricky too.
    Did you eat any of the marshmallows?
    Have you tried making them with anything else?
    From Room 1.

    Kia ora my name is Te waipuke I love your marshmallow tower. Did you know I am a special Olympics swimmer. I have won 58 some medals.
    Could you use blue tack instead of marshmallows?
