Science Club

Problem Solving Challenge!
The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds has a problem. A female dotterel has been frightened away from her nest and left two eggs. The nearest incubator, to keep eggs alive, is two hours drive away along a bumpy windy track.

Your challenge:
Design and make a container to protect the eggs on their bumpy journey. Find a way to test your container, use hens eggs, before the precious dotterel eggs are put in it.

As you can see from the photos the children had a great time. Testing the containers was a series of thrills and spills. Not one egg was scrambled!
Try this at home!!
