Description
Italian Renaissance Marshmallow Challenge
The Italian Renaissance Marshmallow Challenge activity is designed to allow student groups of three to four students to interact with their classmates by building a tower or an architectural wonder for their Italian city-state in eighteen minutes out of dry spaghetti noodles, tape, and string. Lastly, the tower needs to hold up the marshmallow at the top of structure. A group “wins” by making the tallest free standing structure that holds up the marshmallow. After the simulation, you as the teacher can ask discussion questions, or you can hand out the discussion sheet to each group or to each student as you desire. Leave time to reflect as a class, as your students will be very excited. Students will love this activity! Directions are included for the teacher, along with extension activities, and different ways to modify the activity if needed.

1. Florence
2. Venice
3. Genoa
4. Milan
5. Naples
