Year 11 Community and Family Studies

Year 11 CAFS students have been learning about observation as a primary research method. Students were assigned the task of the ‘marshmallow challenge,’using 90cm of sticky tape, 90cm of string, 20 pieces of spaghetti and one marshmallow to build the tallest freestanding structure in 20 mins. Whilst some groups worked together under the pressure of time, other groups watched on and commented on areas of our learning such as leadership, group dynamics, conflict, the effectiveness of communication and the roles individuals adopted in groups. Students quickly learnt that the task was much more challenging than they first anticipated. Here is what they created (including evidence of the structures that unfortunately, weren't free standing).
