6th grade students used their engineering and math skills to build the tallest snowman they could, utilizing all 8 marshmallows, 8 toothpicks and only 2 minutes of their time and brain power! Their snowmen had to stand upright with no assistance and the marshmallows had to be touching. They learned they had to build some type of base to support their top-heavy yummy creations. We reviewed measuring with a ruler and they measured their finished products. The tallest snowman measured 6 1/2 inches.
They took home individual miniature snowman treat bags and checked out books to enjoy!
