Maker Space - Marshmallow Moving Machines!

As part of inquiry into friction and force we worked in pairs to make compound machines to move a marshmallow over the furthest distance possible. We applied our understaning of force and motion to make our machines. We then added our marshmallow and tested them. Two of our contraptions travelled more than 3 and a half meters.

"The marshmallow didn't go very far because it had more friction than a marble we practised with." Malysa

We reflected on how effective our machines were and how we could improve them.
