The Year 4 Egg Drop Challenge
Each year during the school Science Week it has been traditional for Year 4 to test their ability to use air resistance to protect eggs that are thrown from the Science Lab windows.
Here is one test drop with a packaged egg descending by parachute from a first storey window.
Quite an impressive looking bit of packaging here but - sadly - this one didn't make it.
Here for your amazement are some of the more successful designs that have been used in the last few years!
- Drop One
- Drop Two
- Drop Three
- Drop Four
- Here's one that looks good...but from the noise on impact you can tell it didn't really work!
