Science Challenge Winners

On the 10th of November 2015, Aisling,Tom, Seán and Eimear from 6th Class competed in the marshmallow science challenge. We had 20 spaghetti sticks and 1 metre of masking tape. We had to build the tallest structure we could, and it had to hold a marshmallow on top. There were 21 teams from all of Mayo. First we had to qualify from our school ,which we did. So on Tuesday we went to Hotel Ballina. Mr. Clogherty and Ms. Barrett came with us. We had 40 minutes to do our structure .The first 20 minutes were going well but the next 10 were a bit of a disaster. Our structure kept on falling over and it looked like it was over for us. But our luck changed and 1 simple decision led us to victory!
