Marshmallow Flings

In science we have been studying simple machines. Students were assigned a project...to create their very own simple machine...a Marshmallow fling. Mrs. H (my 3rd grade team member) and I sent home a plastic spoon and instructions. The only criteria was that students use the plastic spoon in the simple machine. Students had so much fun launching the marshmallows. It was amazing to see how far they would fling!
