Here it is, 5N! Friday, 24 JAN 2014 is the big day. Remember to take photographs! Did you know that the trampoline, popsicles, and earmuffs were all invented by kids? It's true! Check out this link for more kid innovations. From now until 10th January 2014 you need to find at least 6 problems that you could possibly solve. Jot down what the problem is, sketch it out, think up a possible solution and make a sketch of it. It is important to be creative and realistic. Be ready to share your ideas with the rest of the class. Can you design a system that will protect an egg from a fall? Give it a try and find out. Use items from around the house to build something that will prevent eggs smashing all over the ground. Can you protect a falling egg? On Tuesday, 10 DEC, you'll have to build your egg protectors from resources such as:
We will provide you with an egg. The aim: Your goal is simple: design and build a system that will protect an egg from a 1 metre (3.3 feet) drop. Eggs that smash or crack fail the test while eggs that survive without a scratch pass! Getting started: You need to create something that can absorb the energy the egg gathers as it accelerates towards the ground. A hard surface will crack the egg so you have to think carefully about how you can protect it. Something that will cushion the egg at the end of its fall is a good place to start, you want the egg to decelerate slowly so it doesn't crack or smash all over the ground. You'll need to run a few trials so have some eggs ready as guinea pigs, those that don’t survive will at least be comforted knowing they were smashed for a good cause, and if not, you can at least have scrambled eggs for dinner right? Coming, Thursday, 12 DEC 2013... From YouTube: A 13 year old kid builds this amazing solar panels tree. This DIY Solar Panel is a special design. Watch the video to understand how he added 40% more power to the solar panels with this special design.
