Egg Technology Challenge

Today the whole school got together to take part in a technology challenge. We were put into teams of 4. Two Nui students were in a group with two Wai students. Each group was given a plastic bag, a length of string, a roll of masking tape, several sheets of A4 paper and an egg. The challenge was to design a way for the egg to be protected so that it would be intact when it was dropped from a height.
We had heaps of fun!

Rori and Ella worked with Taj and Max from Room 4

Sonny & William from Room 2 worked with Millie and Oska.

Jamie and Felix from Room 4 help Cash and Te Atawhai.

Stormur listens to Luke and Troy

Carter and Shai work with Ivy and Quincee.

Pila and Zoe from Room 3 worked with Alice and Josephine.

Momo and Cornelia helped Isabella and Asia from Room 3 design their egg protection device.

Bramm and Mia worked hard with their buddies.

Cash, Felix, Te Atawhai and Jamie show off their finished creation.

This was when the fun really began!

Mrs Andrew climbed up a tall ladder to get some extra height!!!

She hurled our eggs down to the concrete below!

Some eggs floated down....

And others smashed!!! Here we are checking whether our eggs had survived or not!!

After many times being dropped, this teams egg was the sole survivor!
Fantastic Asia, Isabella, Momo and Cornelia! Their egg was wrapped and then cushioned inside a plastic bag that had been blown up. They also made a parachute out of paper to slow their plastic pillow down as it fell to the ground.

We had lots of fun during the Technology Challenge!
