This activity required us to design and create a
'vehicle' that will prevent an egg from breaking
when dropped from a certain height.
We we given the same number of balloons,
drinking straws, A4 paper, newspaper and elastic bands.
We had to complete this task in two periods.
Planning Stage
We found that it is important to plan what we
want to do. We were given 10 minutes to think
about what we want to create and how to do it.
Let The Creative Juices Flow
We were given 30 minutes to put our plans into action.
It was not easy. Some of us were too excited that we
could not think straight. We had problems with bursting
balloons too!! Some of us had to change our plan because
our balloons burst. We realised that we have to work well
as a team if we want to finish our 'vehicle' on time.
Our Final Product
These are the 'vehicles' that we were able to
create with the materials and within the 30 minutes given.
Moment of Truth
After completing our 'vehicles', it was time to put
them to the test. We went up the fourth floor of
our school building and released our 'vehicles'
to see if the eggs would survive the trip down.......
It was an exciting yet scary moment for all of us!
Sad to say most of our eggs did not survive the trip. Only one egg went away with 'minor injuries.'
