How Tall Can You Build It?!
As part of our Engineering Design Process lesson. Our 6th grade scientists/engineers put their engineering skills to the test this week with a Spaghetti & Marshmallow Tower STEM Challenge!
Working in teams, students were given just 20 pieces of spaghetti and 20 mini marshmallows and one goal: BUILD THE TALLEST FREESTANDING TOWER POSSIBLE!
There were plenty of creative designs, unexpected collapses, redesigns, and a whole lot of teamwork along the way! Students had to think like engineers as they planned, built, tested, failed, redesigned, and tried again.
This challenge wasn't just about building a tower—it was about problem-solving, communication, perseverance, creativity, and learning from failure.
And yes… there were some VERY impressive towers!
I am proud of our 6th graders for taking on the challenge, working together, and showing that sometimes the best way to learn science is to get your hands messy and build something!
