Being the last week of term, we’ve decided to have some more practical and investigative lessons in Year 5. Today, the class were challenged to build the tallest tower they could using… spaghetti and marshmallows. The class split into teams of three and they were all given approximately 30 pieces of spaghetti and 12 marshmallows. We first spent 10 minutes experimenting with designs before feeding back ideas as to what worked well. The teams then had 20 minutes to build the tallest tower they could, that could support its own height. The winning design measured 43cm!
