“As I'm a sole science teacher now I decided to use this with physics! There were designs based around catapults with some focussing on how far the marshmallow would travel to how fast and we even did one on how many could be caught in your mouth (this was the favourite BTW). We made bridges that had to balance on your arm and see how much weight could be placed too. Nice to still do these kits that let me use it as a base and not a step by step design.”
