Design Challenge #1
Today we set out to build the tallest tower with a marsh mellow standing on the top! The students were put in 3 person groups to work together on this task. It was fun but a lot harder than I made it sound. They were given 1 yard of string and 1.5 yards of tape, 1 marsh mellow and 20 pieces of dried noodles. Every group was so different in the way they worked. Check out some of their ideas!
Not all groups were able to make a successful design the first time through but we encouraged them to keep trying and worked with them to alter their first idea to make it better. We had some very creative ideas!
