Marshmallow Challenge: Reflective Questions

1. Everyone on our team helped in ways such as holding things up while others tape stuff down. We didn't know what we were really doing until we put our ideas together which helped us build our structure well.

2. We usually just thought of a main plan and executed it well which worked out in the end which lead us to winning and beating the challenge.

Ideas Gencration

Our ideas came from a similar exercise I did in tech class where I had to make a freestanding structure using straws, tape, string and aluminum foil that has to go on the top. I failed doing that exercise but we were shown how to do it which helped our group a lot because without it we wouldn't know how to make it free standing.

Energy

There wasn't any pressure but as our team put ideas together we started to get hyped up and worked together.  We knew it would be possible if we just worked together and used our ideas to build it.

Cross-Cutting Concepts:

a. A patterns I noticed about ours and others' structures is that they all had a triangle base. This is because it is a strong sturdy structural support and good for this.

b. We could apply successful marshmallow stuructures to real life because it helps us by helping architects what structures are strong and what structures aren't

Learning from experience

Things I would like to change or could've done better is use the resources more wisely because it wasn't organized as tape was every m where and some of it was to waste.
