    Teacher notes
    • Make a tower from spaghetti and marshmallows.

      Experiment with the construction of your tower to find out which shapes are best for building with.

      Learn why some shapes are more stable than others when you build a tower.
    • Building towers out of spaghetti and marshmallows is a great way to encourage children to think like engineers.

      This activity from the Royal Institute comes with a downloadable work sheet.
