Which group can build the tallest spaghetti tower and hold a marshmallow at the top?
Our 4/5/6 graders had a collaboration challenge using a set number of spaghetti noodles, a little bit of tape, and a marshmallow, to see who can get the marshmallow to the highest point using a spaghetti tower. This challenge focused on creative problem solving, working with a team, engineering and physics principals, and patience. It was a fun way to bring the class together at the end of a stressful but successful quarter.
