Spaghetti Tower Challenge
Is it possible to take something brittle and something soft and combine them to make them strong?
This is exactly what P5/6 have been attempting to discover by undertaking a 'Spaghetti Tower Challenge'. So, how does this work?

Take something soft - Marshmallow.
Build a tower as tall as possible and strong enough to support an egg.
And how did the experiments work out?
