This week we began with an Eggxtraordinary experiment – to support our science studies.
The pupils spent some time exploring the properties of materials, with the brief that they needed to protect an important package: an egg in full flight.
Pupils were provided with a selection of materials, with different properties and then considered which samples would be best at protecting a raw egg, from a fall. The pupils made their hypothesis and of course we had to give it a go.
Fair testing procedures were applied and the result were analysed. Ask them all about it and take a look at the pictures and video shown above.
CAN YOU NAME THE PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS?
WHY DO WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT PACKAGING IS BEST FOR PARCELS?
Take a look at the video below, too (which the pupils watched), to find out more about materials and their properties.
