WHAT OTHER TEACHERS ARE SAYING:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “This was a fun experiment! Students noticed quickly that what they thought would work wouldn't and had to readjust their plans. It's interesting to see the plans students come up with and how they adapt. Plus, it's building with marshmallows and toothpicks, so they loved it!” - Angela (2nd Grade Teacher)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I loved the way this follows the scientific process in such a simple way. The kids loved diagraming and of course building the towers. We did some math calculations too! Great fun on the 100th day of school.” - Jennifer (3rd Grade Teacher)
