In this lesson, students use uncooked spaghetti to build a support structure. The towers need to be able to support a marshmallow for at least fifteen seconds. Students first brainstorm their ideas in small groups and discuss strengths and weaknesses. Then the group will choose a best design and build, test, and redesign their structure.
