  1. Pastabilities—An Inquiry-based activity Beverly Brown, PhD; Cheri Boyd, PhD; Lynn O’Brien, PhD; Sheila Brady-Root, MS; William Lammela, PhD, Heather Lewis, PhD.

  2. How much mass can a strand of spaghetti hold? • Construct your “penny bucket” • Tape spaghetti to table—12 cm from edge. • Begin your test!

  3. How to improve the strength?

  4. Develop your Project • Test one variable • Design your experiment(s) • Test your experiment • Was your hypothesis verified? How do you know?

  5. Next Steps—How to incorporate in your school?
