#Egg drop challenge strategy how to#
When you have finished your experiments, remember to disassemble your creations and remove any Sellotape or sticky stuff before putting them into your recycling container. This week, students were exploring forces and how to reduce the impact of an egg falling 9m onto the concrete floor Students had lots of different designs. External protection materials, like balloons, rubber bands, craft sticks, straws, etc. Materials Raw egg, or other payload that needs protecting Container, like a cardboard tube, cup, box, etc.

Was it well protected? What would you do differently next time? Egg Drop Challenge Get your payload safely to the surface Design and build a lander that protects a raw egg that’s dropped from up high. The challenge was given to create a structure for a raw egg, that protect the egg from cracking at any. Arrange the recycled materials in a way that prevents a free-for-all. Inspect the egg – did it survive the drop, or did the shell crack? Reflect on your experiment and think about reasons why your egg did or didn’t crack. Engineering The Perfect Contraptions for an Egg Drop. Can you save this egg from getting scrambled Preparation.

Be sure to get an adult to help you with heights and stay safe. Students will Demonstrate an understanding of the of challenges of soft landing a spacecraft on Mars.

Hard boiling the egg means that if your egg does crack, it won’t smash and make a mess! This also reduces food waste and you can peel and eat them afterwards for a tasty snack! For this week’s Summer Activity challenge, we’re challenging you to complete the #EggDropChallenge! Grab a hard-boiled egg, some things from around the house and have a go!
