Term 1 Week 3

Last week, we briefly went through what forces were. On Thursday, you did the egg drop challenge where you got into your groups and designed a contraption that would keep your egg safe as it was thrown down from the top of the stairs down to the bottom floor. 

As we are currently in lockdown until (hopefully) Thursday, I'd like you complete the egg drop worksheet on google classroom - found here. 

I've also attached a nice summary of what motion is, with a cool episode from Bill NYE the science guy. If you finish the egg drop activity, then you may watch the video and do the worksheet that I've placed with it. Link is here 

Sweet, that's all for this week. If you have any questions , feel free to email me :) 

Most importantly, stay safe, and look after yourselves this week. 

Arohanui,

EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

• We are EXPLORING design planning and collaborating by constructing an egg drop apparatus
• We are EXPLORING how our designs address our brief, and testing our hypotheses through experimenting and observing what works and doesn't work
• We are EXPLORING the relationships between force and momentum
