Designing • Your designing time is 5 mins • During this time you need to consider the following: – Money – Time – Safety features of your pilot

Creating • Your creating time is 10 mins • During this time you need to consider the following: – Your pilot needs to be inside the capsule – All materials must be used

• You now need to select one group member, from your group to come and discuss your capsule. • This would include: – How you made it eg: the materials that you used, and why? – Pilots name? – What you think will happen (hypothesis)?

Launching Time • Now for the real test………… • Colin will now individually, one at a time, perform the “Worlds Greatest Egg Drop. ”

Evaluation • As a group you now need to get back together and discus the results of your drop… • When doing this you need to consider: • What happened? • Why it happened (reflect on design)? • How would you change it and why?
