Egg Drop and Sheep






This week in 2BP we have been busy investigating how high we can drop an egg before it breaks. When we dropped an egg on a hard surface it broke at 7cm and on a soft surface at 38cm. On Wednesday we decided to conduct an experiment and to keep it a fair test we could only change one variable. We would make the outside of the egg stronger by making a shield out of materials like bubble wrap, tissue paper, cotton wool and sticky tape. Next week we will put our shields to the test to see how well they work.

Did you know that the word 'sheep' appears in the Bible 750 times? 2BP learnt that fact this week when we talked about the importance of sheep in Bible times and read a story about the lost sheep.

  15. Today we droped our egg experiment. First we stared at ten cm,s and up to 2m but ours only got up to 140 cm becuase the packaging moved to the right and then the egg moved to the left. And then it hit the bottem of the box. And then Mrs Pledger let us have a second chance.
