How Strong is Spaghetti?

St Catherine OSHC

For our Stem activity, the children used spaghetti to challenge how strong it is to hold wooden blocks and start unleashing the little Engineers within them. They started even designing a building, bridge and a tower. Throughout this experience, the children displayed playing collaboratively with their ideas on how to construct building over spaghetti! It was beautiful to see that they encourage one another when the spaghetti is not strong enough and share their own spaghetti with their peers giving them idea how to strengthen them. Friendship and laughter were also established throughout the activity.
