TWIS

   This week in science we did the marshmallow challenge, we also recorded our 10th grade intro video. This was our second time doing each of these projects. When doing the marshmallow challenge  we broke it up into two sections the first time we were not  able to talk to our group members. When it was time for us to create our 10th grade intro video, we all whent out onto the roof which was the difference between the first time we did a video log.
  Doing the marshmallow challenge showed me that, it is easier to work in a group when there is verbale comunication. I noticed that it wasn't as diffucult doing the challenge this late in the year, because the first time we did it, we could have spoke, but not everyone  wanted to speak much. Most likely because of the fact that we didn't know each other.
  I think I improved with working in groups. The marhmallow challenge taught me all of the things that go into haveing a successful group.

Here these students are trying to create a steady base in the middle of the spaghetti .


Now these students are actually putting the marshmallow on top.


Here my group and I are still trying to figure out what to do with the materials given, this was before we where able to talk to each other.
