Science

The Egg Drop

Create an investigation to stop an egg breaking when dropping it from a metre height.

Your goal is simple, design and build a system that will protect an egg from a 1 metre (3.3 feet) drop. Eggs that smash or crack fail the test while eggs that survive without a scratch pass!

Which materials supported the egg best?

Did you have to use lots of layers?

Could your egg survive a higher drop?

Think about!

You need to create something that can absorb the energy the egg gathers as it accelerates towards the ground. A hard surface will crack the egg so you have to think carefully about how you can protect it. Something that will cushion the egg at the end of its fall is a good place to start, you want the egg to decelerate slowly so it doesn't crack or smash all over the ground. You'll need to run a few trials so have some eggs ready as guinea pigs, those that don’t survive will at least be comforted knowing they were smashed for a good cause, and if not, you can at least have scrambled eggs for dinner right?

Leo and I will also try this investigation and let you know how we got on!

Computing

Coding

Use the https://studio.code.org/ and try the Hour of Code Dance Party. Follow the input then do the activity.

DT

Design Project: Dragons Den style

Watch the you tube clip 'Shampoo idea'  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRrXRJ_vrl8

Talk with your adult about creating something nobody has used. Maybe something to entertain/use during are isolation time at home. Or a new protective mask for doctors and nurses against the coronavirus.

Use a selection of recycable items in your house or plan it on paper as a diagram and record/write an explanation on how it could be used. 

It would be great to see some of your designs and ideas, so message to our facebook page.

Remember to do Miss Sharpe's Van Gogh  birthday challenge on Monday for his birthday.

I look forward to seeing some of the work you have done next week and I will share mine!

Look after each other and I'll see you soon.
