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.

An egg drop

Here is one test drop with a packaged egg descending by parachute from a first storey window.

One that didn't make it!

Quite an impressive looking bit of packaging here but - sadly - this one didn't make it.

Checking for damage

Here for your amazement are some of the more successful designs that have been used in the last few years!
