Day 1 - Class Introduction and Marshmallow Challenge

Today students learned to line up outside of the classroom along the lockers, and avoid going next to the railing.

When they entered they read the instructions on the board and followed them "Sit down quietly, take out your program cards, put bags on the floor or on the back of your chair."

We then played the Marshmallow challenge to see what team could work together to create the highest tower  with a marshmallow on top using only 20 pc. of spagetti, 1m masking tape, and 1m of string. Time limit: 20 minutes.

Afterwards, we discussed the activity and the importance of failure and teamwork in science.

Students then received their letter to parent to get signed for homework, and we reviewed the materials list.
