The Tower Challenge

Due to the success of the marshmallow challenge, students again used a hands on, STEM activity to learn about engineering and working in teams. Students were challenged to build the tallest tower they could with the 45 plastic cups that we're provided to them. Then students were asked to build a structure that would support the most weight. Some towers held over 50 books! The results were awesome. Students encouraged one another, worked as a team and were respectful. All the while there was great excitement and enthusiasm for towers crashing and being crushed!
