Well after our first eggsciting experiment we were ready for part two.

For this one we had to design a launcher  to chuck our egg the furthest and the egg had to still survive the impact.

We decided on three things that we got points for…

These were:

points for furthest distance

points for egg survival

we also wanted points for the best looking egg protection system or launcher.

Once again we worked hard on our designs, choosing suitable materials for the launcher and the protection system.

 

Some launchers and capsules were very good looking indeed!

Some designs were complex and others simple.

We even had an elastic powered  rocket!

Once again we had great fun, Miss Thomason said that she was very impressed at how hard we worked on this.

We found that the simplest designs worked the most effectively. We also found out that we needed to spend time on both parts of the problem and not just on one.
