I think the title will give you a clue - we have continued our 'egg drop' fun! So what
does happen when you drop an egg off the top of the senior playground? Have a look:
As you can see, some eggs bounce and survive the fall...but others don't!
 |
| Poor Humpty Dumpty... |
So, back to the challenge! Each group had to
design a way of dropping an egg without it breaking. Here are the designs and the results of our 'eggsperiments':
 |
I like to call this one...Fluffy Surprise!
An egg surrounded by cotton wool with an outside layer of tinfoil to hold it all together. |
 |
| Well done, Rosa and Madeleine - your egg survived! |
 |
This one could be called 'Beautiful Bubble'!
An egg wrapped in bubble wrap and tinfoil then decorated with little badges. |
 |
| "Yes!" goes Samantha while Elina shows the smile of success. |
 |
| This one looks like a 'Reverse Rocket Booster'. |
 |
| When it landed, the egg had slipped to the end...lucky you designed a seat belt, boys! |
 |
| Samuel and Jonathan with their clever contraption...and a whole egg! |
 |
This design needs to be called the 'Double Whammy' because it not only protected the egg inside the box...
it slowed down it's fall with a parachute too! |
 |
| Olivia, Tayla and Phoebe get the egg out of its feather bed - in one piece! Woo hoo! |
What a lot of fun we had! What would YOU design to save your egg? Have a go...
