Thursday 13th March The Great Egg Drop The girls were set the challenge to design a contraption using a variety of materials that would enable a raw egg to be launched from the Physics lab windows and land safely without a crack! No parachutes were allowed! The girls were shown how the robots that landed on Mars used special ‘airbags’ to prevent damage to the technical equipment...no easy task as the robots entered the Martian atmosphere at 14,000 miles per hour! The girls worked away industriously all lunchtime and had most of their designs finished by the end of session. All that awaited them was the next days grand launching. Year 5 and 6 Parent and pupil Quiz There were 5 rounds of brain-teasers and practical conundrums, which parents and girls worked on together. Megan Ford, Emily Haigh (Year 7) and Charlie Harrison (Year 12) were fantastic helpers in guiding the teams towards the right answers! There were beautiful micrograph images to decipher, cell slides to prepare, famous scientists to identify and neutralisation experiments to concoct amongst other things! All teams did brilliantly with prizes for everyone…congratulations to the Boxall-Hunt Team for coming first! |
