Science Week Pt.2 🥼

We were learning all about force this week and had great fun creating a working parachute for our Eggy friends. (I think we all also loved watching our 'control' egg smash)
With every group being successful in 'trial 1' we slowly started removing different resources to see which build would be the most economic- using the least amount of resources.

Science Week Pt.1 🧑‍🔬

We absolutely love Science and were lucky enough to have a visitor in from the Library. We got transported into a CSI investigation where we needed to conduct three different experiments to see who the criminal was!
