An egg-citing #GSCAtHome challenge for all the family that will require creativity, critical thinking, collaboration and communication!
Apollo 13 was due to land on the Moon in April 1970, however, the lunar landing was aborted only two days into the mission due to a very serious fault on board.
The astronauts had to make adjustments to their equipment using only what they could find on board to enable them to get back to Earth and land safely.
For egg drop challenge, you will design a capsule that will bring your astronaut back down to Earth as safely as possible.
Ideal for all the family to get involved. View on YouTube.
