YEAR 10 SCIENCE

Ms Rani and Mr Szular’s Year 10 Science classes wrapped up their study of Motion with a "crackin" good challenge to end the unit.

After exploring concepts like velocity, acceleration, Newton’s Laws and the forces involved in collisions, students put their learning to the test by designing and building mini vehicles to protect a raw egg during a crash. Using their understanding of momentum and impact absorption, the class launched their carts down ramps and sent them crashing into walls, all in the name of science.

In an egg-straordinary outcome, the eggs survived the first round, a testament to the students' clever designs and application of the Physics they've learnt throughout the Term. Round two brought a few hairline cracks and some dramatic impacts, but the energy and enthusiasm in the room stayed sunny side up.
