Launch your Marshmellow!



Today we had to launch a giant marshmallow to see if we could hit Mary. We named our marshmallows and then had to use classroom objects to move our marshmallows. There were some rules we had to follow
1. The marshmallow may only be touching the object before it goes into the air (in other words, you may not launch it with your hand).
2: The object must be touching the desk or chair as you launch the marshmallow ( in other words, you may not use your object like a bat to hit the marshmallow at the teacher!)
We then had to describe how we launched our missiles.
The best way to launch our missiles was by placing the marshmallow on one end and applying force to the other end to get it in the air with the desk or table serving as a fulcrum.
It was lots of fun and Mary survived!
