Marshmallow Houses

As part of our Inquiry Learning, we have been learning about how earthquakes occur when tectonic plates move.  On Friday we worked in pairs to design and build a marshmallow house that could be strong enough to withstand an earthquake.  We made our houses out of toothpicks and marshmallows.  We tested them to see if they were strong enough by placing them in jelly.  Some of them were so big that we needed to shake the table!  They were all amazing.  Very intricate!
