Rocket Man

Success! This group’s “egg astronaut” experienced a safe landing!

Clear, sunny skies set the scene for Mr. Turner’s 6th grade Earth and space science students’ launch day. The objective: build a shuttle and parachute system to land an egg “astronaut” safely back to Earth. Each group, using resources in the lab (like tape, styrofoam, bubble wrap, and plastic bags), engineered their own padded capsules to keep the egg fully intact.

Watch below to experience liftoff!
