An EGGcellent Experiment

13th Sep 2018

In S3 we are keen to explore our curiosity and we love to make predictions and carry out experiments. We were curious if there was any way to drop an egg without it cracking. We did some research and we decided to try setting down kitchen roll on the worktop. However we needed to test it many times to see how many sheets of kitchen roll it would take. The result was 16 sheets! We were so excited that we came up with some other suggestions: 

  • Using a cushion 
  • Make an egg parachute 
  • Use a pillow 
  • Use a sandwich bag 
  • Boil the egg 
  • Drop it into a bowl of cereal 

Can you think of any?

We have decided to try the last option- we will keep you posted
