This Week In Science # 15

This week in science we did the marshmallow challenge. In this challenge we got with same group of people  we were in, in the beginning of the year. You would think that our results would be the same or better, but our teacher changed the rules. Last time we stacked up the desk because we were allowed to, so this made the tower to be bigger, but now that was't allowed so all we measured but the height of the structure itself. We weren't also allowed to talk in this challenge or we were disqualified this even made it harder because the group and had so many ideas, but the lack of talking made it harder for one of us to understand what the other was doing. We also made a video dedicated to our future 10th grade. We wrote something like a script answering a few questions about ourselves and how we have grown over the year, then we video taped it and then posted it to our blog.

This week in science I learned that when doing a certain project with a group of people YOU NEED TO TALK. The challenge we did was even harder because we weren't speaking so all the ideas that each or us had we just trying to all be put in to the project causing both ideas to clash and not making it work. However, we were drawing out our ideas on a little note pad which in way helped out, but not completely. Also, because our teacher changed the rules we weren't able to use the table to make the tower bigger causing our structure to not be ass big as it was last time, but it was still the tallest on out of the class.
