Happy New Year!! + technology challenges!!

In anticipation of Science week, which will start in two weeks time, year five thought we should 'tryout' some of the technology challenges... 
This particular challenge asks the class to imagine that some people are injured at the bottom of a sheer rock face, and they need medicine, some of which is fragile and has to be packaged so that it will not break.
There is also no cord to lower this medicine gently and there is also no wind. 

The class has been given 10 sheets of A4 paper, 1m of selotape, 1m of string and a raw egg as the medicine.
The egg is the medicine. 




 Oh dear!! This medicine didn't make it....

Success!!



Let’s try a parachute ….




Finally the last group... will the medicine make it down the cliff face??








SUCCESS!!!
