Federation Science Egg Race
Three year 7 scientists ( Nasra C, Shantell P, and Daisy M) participated in the Harris Federation Egg Race yesterday, (and no, it was not an actual egg race!!)
The competition comprised of:
- A physics/engineering challenge,
- A quiz, and
- An ecology scavenger hunt.
For the engineering challenge they were asked to design a working trebuchet, from which they would launch marshmallows into open distance, and set spaces.
The quiz was 15 recall questions across the 3 sciences.
They produced a state of the art trebuchet complete with settings for height and distance launch, but, unfortunately, was not placed in the engineering challenge. They were first place in the quiz competition.
All together a fun and productive day for the girls.
