The recording sheet from Create Teach Share started the investigation perfectly! The GOAL of the investigation was for the students to build the TALLEST structure. The students were not allowed to TOUCH the materials (toothpicks and marshmallows) for their investigation until they had formulated a written plan. After they wrote their plan, I asked the students to sketch what they ENVISIONED their tower to look like. After all of their preparation, students were ready to build!
Take a look at how some of their towers turned out.

Example #4)
I really LOVED the recording sheet. On the back, the students were able to sketch how the towers actually turned out and they were able to reflect on their work. This was perfect for the moth of October. Do you have another favorite Halloween or Fall Science Experiment? I would be interested in hearing about it.

Yay!! So glad you were able to use this activity! Looks like your kiddos had a lot of fun!! We learned the hard way last year about the regular candy corns. My poor kiddos were barely able to make a cube!! Definitely using the marshmallows this year!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Rebecca for the AWESOME printable! It made the activity so much more rigorous. The parents were really happy with it too (especially the parents who were teachers at other schools!) :)
DeleteI love this! Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to try it. Where did you find those cool marshmallows?
ReplyDeleteHi Liz! So, after the candy corn disaster…..I panicked and went to Target to find gumdrops but low and behold, I found these candy corn marshmallows for $2.49 a bag in the Halloween section. Plus, they go a LONG WAY! 3 bags should be the PERFECT amount for a class of 34. :)
DeleteDid your marshmallows need to be stale to work?
ReplyDeleteNo, they worked fine right out of the bag. :-)
DeleteAbout how many pieces of the marshmallow candy corn did you give to each group?
