On Friday 31st of August, Miss Gunning gave us the challenge of creating a contraption which could be used to protect an egg being dropped from a height. BUT it wasn’t that simple, we had a limited amount of resources.
- A paper plate
- 3 cotton balls
- A napkin
- A piece of paper
- A plastic cup
- 3 pieces of sellotape
After creating our contraptions it was time to put them to the test. We knew that it would be messy so we used bin bags to protect the ground. Then it was time…
We started by dropping them from Miss Gunning’s shoulder height, if your egg survived then you were through to the next round. Then it got harder. Miss Gunning dropped it from an even higher height . This got most teams out, although there were 3 teams left. We went outside and tried to throw it over a meter stick and then we finally got our winners: Rehanna and Jamieleigh!
Here you can see some of the videos from the challenge.
