Today we started to do an activity. The activity was who can make the tallest marshmallow tower. There is 5 people in each team, each team has 8 sticks, 12 marshmallows and a cup, there is a time limit which only reach up to 12 minutes. By the end of 12 minutes the tower should be standing still using the materials that we have only got and no one should be holding the tower anymore by the end of the 12 minute timer.
Me and my team which was Lily, Tony, Jessica and Brianna separated the marshmallows into little pieces and Tony started to make a hole at the back of the cup so that the tower will be holded by the cup. After she did that we started to hand in the leftover sticks and put it on top of the other stick, for it to stay still we added the marshmallow that we have separated into little pieces at the bottom of the stick.
After that we repeated the same thing all over again until it couldn't go up anymore. Our tower had fallen down when the 12 minutes ended because it wasn't really a proper hold for the tower. The tower that we made couldn't stay still so we had to leave it alone since the 12 minutes ended. After that we tidied everything since the other team won and we got a marshmallow to eat at the end.
Here is a photo of us building it.
