\"\"This week the whole of Port Ellen Primary school have been testing Newtons 3 laws of motion with eggs!<\/p>\n

The rules work as you have to protect your egg from breaking using resources provided, you have to make 2 things to hold your egg but 1 has to have a parachute and 1 doesn\u2019t and there is prizes for the lightest, the egg that is least damaged and the one that looked the nicest.<\/p>\n

We dropped the eggs from a height (The top of our stairs.) Then it will go at a high speed then splat on the floor. This is Newtons first law, The law of\u00a0Inertia a object (The egg) will stay in motion still unless it is acted upon, the act is the floor the thing thats going to stop the egg so the egg falls down then hits the ground.<\/p>\n

Newtons second law F=MA which stands for force= mass acceleration, This one was the most important this was to slow down your craft before hitting the ground using\u2026 Parachutes! For the parachutes there is only a few things 1. the bigger the better, 2. don\u2019t make it to big it gets stuck on the stairs and 3. make it out of something light not like card so we used bin bags!<\/p>\n

Newtons 3rd law for every action there is a opposite reaction. The egg is falling then it hits the ground the action the reaction the egg goes splat.<\/p>\n

The eggs experiment was a great way to test Newtons laws of motion. It wasn\u2019t just a way of testing Newtons laws but every body loved creating there own special device to keep the egg safe it was like a baby and you can\u2019t drop the baby unless you are 5 metres high and it has a parachute.<\/p>\n
