The Great Egg Drop Experiment by Cleo Pitcher Farrell https://padlet.com/cleopitcherfarrell/uw0q7ew7tctmlocu Find out more about force? Will your egg break? en-us 2021-12-02 08:08:29 UTC 2024-06-03 07:58:21 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f95a.png The big questions? cleopitcherfarrell https://padlet.com/cleopitcherfarrell/uw0q7ew7tctmlocu/wish/1924619775 Why is the egg breaking when we drop it off the roof of the school?
Is it possible to stop it breaking?
If it is possible how do we do this?
If we can stop in breaking what have we done to prevent in breaking?]]> 2021-12-02 08:15:54 UTC https://padlet.com/cleopitcherfarrell/uw0q7ew7tctmlocu/wish/1924619775 Main Understanding by the end of the topic cleopitcherfarrell https://padlet.com/cleopitcherfarrell/uw0q7ew7tctmlocu/wish/1924625558 ~ Each student will work collaboratively in teams to establish why an egg breaks when you drop it from the roof of the school 
~ They will then work together to see can they prevent the egg from breaking
~ They will plan , design and create a method to prevent the egg from breaking
~The students will test their designs and be able to witness the impact their design has had on the force at which egg lands

Lets try it 
- If we were to drop your egg from a higher height do you think it will still work? Lets try it!
- Each group must replace their main piece of equipment with something else, will their new design work?

-explore the effect of friction on movement of their eggs and how it may be used to slow the egg as it travels or/and stop the  egg from breaking as it lands
- come to appreciate that gravity is a force through the process of the egg drop inquiry
- Through dropping the egg from different heights become aware that objects have weight because of the pull of gravity

We had a bigger box but we decided it was too big and changed to this smaller one ]]> 2021-12-03 17:18:12 UTC https://padlet.com/cleopitcherfarrell/uw0q7ew7tctmlocu/wish/1927815388 Step 3 cleopitcherfarrell https://padlet.com/cleopitcherfarrell/uw0q7ew7tctmlocu/wish/1927818915 We put the egg in the box surrounded by tissue paper as padding. We discussed various items we could use as padding such as cotton wool, another teackoth but decided on tissue paper as it was easiest to mould around the egg. ]]> 2021-12-03 17:20:09 UTC https://padlet.com/cleopitcherfarrell/uw0q7ew7tctmlocu/wish/1927818915 Step 4 cleopitcherfarrell https://padlet.com/cleopitcherfarrell/uw0q7ew7tctmlocu/wish/1927820601 We taped the egg carrier shit so the egg would not be able to fall out mid flight ]]> 2021-12-03 17:21:02 UTC https://padlet.com/cleopitcherfarrell/uw0q7ew7tctmlocu/wish/1927820601 The Test cleopitcherfarrell https://padlet.com/cleopitcherfarrell/uw0q7ew7tctmlocu/wish/1927823985 It went reasonably well the egg fell down at a slower rate as the parachute caught air and it didn't break!]]> 2021-12-03 17:22:53 UTC https://padlet.com/cleopitcherfarrell/uw0q7ew7tctmlocu/wish/1927823985 What we learned!! cleopitcherfarrell https://padlet.com/cleopitcherfarrell/uw0q7ew7tctmlocu/wish/1927826764 The friction from the parachute against the air caused the egg to fall slowly due to the slower rate of fall it hit the ground softly and therefore did not break!]]> 2021-12-03 17:24:19 UTC https://padlet.com/cleopitcherfarrell/uw0q7ew7tctmlocu/wish/1927826764 What we would do differently cleopitcherfarrell https://padlet.com/cleopitcherfarrell/uw0q7ew7tctmlocu/wish/1927827110 We would test out different materials for the parachute such as plastic as this might create even more friction and then allow the egg to fall even slower to the ground reducing the likelihood of breaking even more!]]> 2021-12-03 17:24:31 UTC https://padlet.com/cleopitcherfarrell/uw0q7ew7tctmlocu/wish/1927827110
