As we really enjoy making things in Skeld Mr. Renwick decided that we should try and protect an egg from breaking. We had done a drop test during lockdown and were ready to try a more effective re-entry vehicle to save our egg.

Instead of dropping the egg, this time it would be thrown into the air to test our capsules.
We worked in teams to design the most effective and, in some cases, attractive egg protection system.
We had to think about the properties of materials as well as our work on parachutes.
Our hard work was then taken outside and Mr. Renwick threw them up into the air as hard as he could… he even left the ground!
Most of the eggs survived, but sadly we couldn’t save them all. 🙁
We really enjoyed doing this Eggsperiment and want to try some more.
