Year 2 - DT Investigation
Can you build the tallest and strongest tower?
We have:
Made Towers using spaghetti sticks and Marshmallows.
We changed:
The size of the Marshmallows and the length of the uncooked spaghetti sticks.
We thought:
Towers will fall down if structures are not strong enough.
Square-Based Towers will have the strongest structure.
Big Marshmallows will be too heavy for the top. Longer spaghetti sticks will give towers the strongest structure.
We found out:
Triangular-Based towers have the strongest structure.
Big Marshmallows are too heavy for the top of the structure.
Shorter spaghetti sticks provide greater strength than longer spaghetti sticks.
