Eggscellent Eggsperiments!

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...
