Middle School science students invited a Lower School class to join a very special “eggs-periment” to test Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion (“For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.”) Students designed and built rockets that, when launched, would hopefully carry one egg, or “eggstronaut,” and return it safely to earth. Rockets were launched at 40 psi and 60 psi.
“Sadly,” reports Karla Willis, 7th grade Science teacher, “most of the eggstronauts came down scrambled, but three of our rocket designs did successfully keep their passengers safe. One even launched with 80 psi pressure!”
As for 3rd grade, reports classroom teacher Larali Miller, “Even though our eggstronaut did not make it, my kids loved it!”
