Marshmallow and Toothpick Structures






For a team building exercise, we divided into groups of 4 and built a structure out of marshmallows and toothpicks! The mission was to build a structure that could 1) hold the weight of three hard cover books AND 2) which one could be the tallest. We had a LOT of really awesome designs and structures! The tallest structure was 3 and a half inches! We had some great team work and many student were challenged enough to push themselves and use the whole class time in designing their structure.
