Great choice, Junior Scientist! Today we're doing the "Spaghetti & Marshmallow Tower" experiment. Let me explain what we'll discover together. Triangles are the strongest shape in engineering — they don't easily bend or collapse. Real towers and cranes use triangle patterns (trusses) to stay strong and tall, just like your spaghetti tower!
Ask an adult to set out spaghetti and marshmallows on a clean table.
