Science Club - Floating Eggs

Last week we discovered that we could make eggs float in water, so then we wondered, "Could we make eggs float in air?"   

We taped an egg on to a balloon - but it sank quickly to the ground smashing the egg.  We even tried throwing eggs up really high into the air to catch the breeze . . . but again no luck.

Then we tried a magnet . . .

But the results were not very successful.

Then we thought of things that can float on air - like aeroplanes.  Sometimes people even jump OUT of planes and they float . . . using a parachute.  This was the next thing to try.

We worked in small groups of three to make our parachutes.  We stored them on the Science wall ready for testing next week - WATCH THIS SPACE.
