Task 2: Your job is to build the tallest freestanding structure you can using 1 large marshmallow, 20 sticks of spaghetti, 1 meter of string and 1 meter of masking tape. The marshmallow must be on the top.

Reflections: The first time we tried we had difficulties making a structure that would support the marshmallow. As a classroom building community we held a meeting and discussed what the issues were and how they might be resolved. It was suggested that perhaps instead of using one piece of spaghetti, that taping more than one piece together might make the legs stronger.
