The Egg Drop Experiment

Many different types of landing craft made this assignment a real showcase for the great imaginations at work here. I have asked students to comment on the activity. What might they change or do differently? What did they learn about themselves?

A great job done by all. Especially Regan, Nigel and Parker, who constructed a very light and very strong aircraft. The giant sling-shot prototype didn't work properly, so we went with Plan B. Using pulleys to raise the craft to the ceiling, we were able to generate enough velocity to crack about half of the eggs.

This project was based on the idea of the mars rover mission
