4d’s Marshmallow Challenge

In one of our social lessons, the pupils of 4d took on the “Marshmallow Challenge” – under time pressure (18 minutes), the groups had to build the tallest free-standing structure out of 20 pieces of spaghetti, 1 m of tape and 1 m of string. To make the challenge even more difficult, a marshmallow had to form the highest part of the structure and nothing was allowed to be stuck to the table.

Afterwards, helpful, and less helpful actions during the group work / cooperation were reflected.
