Room 5 STEM Challenge

26th Mar 2025
Today Room 5 completed the Egg Dop Challenge. They worked in pairs to design and construct their own ‘armour’ to protect an egg when it was dropped from a height. Room 5 had to choose materials, or combinations of materials that would absorb the force of the drop and help the egg to remain intact. Room 5 were able to draw and label their design.

They had a blast getting to drop their ‘armour’ off the top of the slide. Room 5 then observed which designs actually protected the egg and they were able to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the various designs.

13/15 eggs survived the drop due to the creative and well-designed protectors! Great work today Room 5!
