2nd graders Build Structures

Our 2nd graders put their engineering skills to the test with a fun and creative STEM challenge!🏗️✨ Using marshmallows and toothpicks, students built their own structures, then took it a step further by sketching detailed drawings of their creations.
 
The real challenge? A classmate used those drawings to try to rebuild the structure! 🧠🔍 Along the way, students explored how the properties of materials can change with use, discovering how soft marshmallows and rigid toothpicks behave during construction.
 
Great teamwork, creativity, and critical thinking all around!
