9io ‘Mission to Mars’

Sunday, May 23rd, 2010

It is again time for our Year 9 classes to design a Mars Lander.  Their task is to safely carry the raw egg to the ground from the top of the balcony.

There were varied designs and also varied successes, with some eggs surviving (and others not so successful).

Congratulations to team Jelly Babies who’s egg survived and took 3.86 seconds to touch down on the surface.
