The Marshmallow Challenge

Let's face it, we'd all give a pretty penny to spend just one more summer night around a campfire roasting s'mores and not worrying about school tomorrow morning, but....since summer is over we'll do the next best thing.

The Marshmallow Experiment ~ Directions

• The winning team is the one that has the tallest structure measured from the table top surface to the top of the freestanding marshmallow. That means the structure cannot be suspended from a higher structure, like a hand, chair, ceiling or chandelier. 

EQ: What does a marshmallow challenge have to do with English?
