2s' Eggparachutes

 

Tuesday, 24th January

Egg-speriencing air resistance!
The 2s designed and built different sized parachutes attached to an egg, and then launched them from a height of around 10 metres to see if the size of their parachute affected the egg’s ability to survive the fall. There was much competitiveness and scientific thinking involved in the design of their egg holder. The experiment helped them evaluate the size of weight and air resistance as opposing forces, and brought in important how science works concepts such as fair testing.  BS
