Egg-traordinary Problem Solving by Year 1 Scientists

Year 1 received an interesting letter this week from Kate in the Pre-Prep kitchen. The eggs in the kitchen kept rolling around and cracking and she needed some help to find a way to stop this from happening. As Year 1 have been learning all about materials, they were the perfect scientists for the job!

The children explored and investigated what materials would be best to protect the eggs. Then, the fun part came…testing to see if their chosen materials were in fact, suitable. The children decided it would be fair to drop the eggs from the same height so no cheating could happen. Kate was thrilled with the results and from now on…the eggs in the Pre-Prep kitchen are safe…well done Year 1!
