Marshmallow Science

Engineering With Marshmallows And Spaghetti
Our class was able to put some of their engineering prowess to work. After a brief description of how a stable structure is built with input from the kindergarten classes, we allowed them to go wild with their imagination. The structures were wonderful. There were pyramids, cubes, and many other unique structures that gave the students some real hands on time.

Here are a few of those wonderful creations.

Group Spider Web

Our Class Creates A Community Spider Web

The class took part in a "group plan" activity today to build community and to show how when we all work together the finished product is better than if we struggle all alone. The activity required the students to roll a ball of yarn to another student and then that child holds on tight. This continues until all students have a piece of the web. A construction paper spider was used to see if the students could make it stay on top of the web. A fun and important activity that they all enjoyed!!
