Marshmallow tower


Have you ever wanted to make a super tall tower out of marshmallows? I have and finally our teachers decided to do it! We all got into six groups of six and started building. The people in my group was David, Ethan, Jin, Annalise and me! We decided to go for a tower with a pointed top. Wait, did I mention that the prize was a hot chocolate with marshmallows each! Now that sounded Delicious! Anyway each group got thirty sticks and thirty marshmallows, but the catch was that you had to use all thirty marshmallows and all thirty sticks and we only had thirty five minutes to do that!

The biggest challenge that we faced was that we had ran out of sticks and had like ten more marshmallows that we needed to use. Eventually we got there and had finished our tower, It was 6.5 cm tall! The tallest tower was 21 cm tall! Now that is tall for marshmallows and sticks! The smallest one was a pile of pink and white! The thing that I didn't like at all is that they chose to use my favorite food but we weren't allowed to eat it?😭

The thing that I did like the most about it  was that we all got to come closer as a class and work together. This was a math challenge to show if we knew one, build a tower out of marshmallows and sticks and two to picture a structure in our mind and then create it! Here is our stunning tower that we created!
Here is the tallest one!

  1. Awesome information Danelle. Excellent information, what a shame we couldn't eat and create at the same time! Mrs Kilkolly
