Year 7 Building Bridges: Spaghetti and Marshmallow Engineering Challenge
Thursday 19 October 2023
The Year 7 Science Club had great fun this week investigating engineering using spaghetti and marshmallows. Teacher of Science, Ms Sheikh, explains the investigation:
Engineering is thought to be one of the fastest growing fields in world, we focused on structural engineering. Structural engineers can work on a vast range of projects; buildings, bridges, ships, aircraft and oil rigs.
In science club we used spaghetti and marshmallows experimenting with shapes to create strong structures.
If students would like to try this engineering investigation at home, please see this guide from the Science Museum.
