We started with the Egg drop challenge. They were given: 

  • Egg

  • 5 pieces of A4 paper

  • 2 Balloons

  • 4 paper straws

  • 5 skewers

  • 5 cotton balls

  • 100cm of string

  • 30 cm of tape

They then had to drop the egg from a height to see if it would break or not. Many of the creations survived to our surprise!
