Marshmallow Challenge!

Screenshot 2014-09-10 at 11.43.44 AM.png

Today, my team Agnes, Giovanni, Kolio and I were all discussing about how to build a tall tower out of dried spaghetti sticks and on top of it we have to include a marshmallow that holds the spaghetti sticks together.  Agnes came up with the first idea saying that we should gather some of the spaghetti sticks and tape them together, make it stand by itself and add the marshmallow on top.

When the time started to tick (we only had 18 minutes) we quickly did Agnes’s idea, but it wasn’t able to stand so we tried to make it stand but it kept on falling we only had 5 minutes left. Agnes and Giovanni was making another sculpture while Kolio and I were trying to make it stand.

I heard Agnes say “Here, what about this one” then we all looked. (it was small) “Sure that will do because we only got 20 seconds....” I didn’t even got to finish of til we heard a loud noise “YES! WOOHOO” said Kolio then we turned around and saw that the first sculpture we made was standing by itself.

“10 seconds left” yelled out Mrs Dines. We were yelling and hi fiving each other until it fell down. It was our sound waves that affected the sculpture. “5, 4, 3, 2, 1!!!”
“Noooooooo!” we all yelled.

It was frustrating and challenging but at least we made one that stood for only 3 seconds. I’m happy that we made it through without hurting anyone.
