This week in science #15

 What I did this week in science was do the marshmallow challenge. I got to sit with the group I've only grouped up with three times. We received noodles, tape, and a marshmallow. We had to sketch out a idea for our structure. We were put on a timer and the rule was if the structure that your group made fell your group lost. We soon realized the fact that all three times that we've met the marshmallow challenge was very interesting due to the fact that we never switched different groups to work in during this event. We also realized that as the whole class has been working with different people throughout the entire school year and we felt like we could all work with each other.



What I learned This week is that working with different people works for everyone. That re experimenting  is very important to learn the mistakes of the first time. That if you give the teacher a chance to change the experiments a little bit, it can be fun for us students. You can also learn alot from different times of the same experiment.
