Yesterday, the children finished off their Eggy’s carts. They added safety features like seat belts, crumple zones and a roll cage. Take a look at their fabulous work!
To complete our DT project, the children then had to test their carts against the design brief. We completed two tests:
- if it was moveable (roll test);
- if it would protect Eggy when the vehicle crashed (crash test);
For the crash test, the children pushed their cars down a ramp into a wall to see if Eggy would still be in intact – some Eggys did not make it. Take a look at our SMASHING experiment!
Help at home: What was your child’s favourite part of the making process? What would they improve next time? What was one thing they found difficult?
