SES egg lander

Our SES class made the egg lander in class last week. It was so much fun!!! The whole class was enjoy in it!!! Thanks for Mr Chung!

 

First of all, let me show you how did we design and make it!!!

 

 

Here are our lander~~~~~~~

 

 

Design ：

For the design, we designed a two-layer lander with a

In the base, it's a big square made by four straws that inserted each other. A big square base could endure more forces from the top.

The second layer is a smaller square and it connect the base by eight straws. It's more stable! And then we use four long straws fasten the top to make the rectangular pyramid shape . The four sides of the top shape has four triangles and we all know triangle is the most stable structure.

We put the egg on the sencond later and use long straws to surround the egg , we also cut many small pieces of straws to be the protecter around the egg that avoid the egg crushing.

 

The result: But unfortunately, the egg crushed..........> <

 

 

Even so many people bet ours would be successful......

Thank you for believing us!!!

 

 

 

For the improvement, we need to  lower the centre of gravity because the lander was droping down by side. We have to do someting that let the lander's base drop on the ground. We also need to make the top straw more longer.

 

 

 

In the end! I would like to thanks for all my group member! I had a really good time with you guys! Even our design didn't work but it gathered our wonderful ideas and work~~~~
