Year 7 students have been hard at work in their Physics lessons, delving into the world of forces and engineering. They’ve explored the concepts of gravity, air resistance, and impact, and now they’re putting their knowledge to the test in the ultimate challenge: designing and building egg landers! The goal? To create a device that will protect an egg from a drop from our atrium, safely delivering it back to ground level without a single crack.
The egg drop challenge is more than just an exciting competition—it’s an incredible hands-on way for students to see Newton’s Laws of Motion in action. Sir Isaac Newton’s First Law, often called the law of inertia, states that an object will stay at rest or continue in motion unless acted on by an external force. Year 7 students have used this law to think critically about how to slow down their egg’s descent, harnessing parachutes and cushioned landing gear to counteract the force of gravity.
In the coming days, the atrium will become the testing ground as students drop their creations from a height, anxiously watching to see if their engineering holds up! The egg drop challenge is a perfect combination of physics, creativity, and teamwork, and we can’t wait to see which designs land smoothly—and which ones splat! The Science Team
