Stage 3 Testing Materials

Stage 3 have been completing the Gravity STEM Challenge. Students have been working through a variety of tasks which challenge their prior knowledge and through experimentation, improves their understanding of how gravity affects materials in different ways.

Students thoroughly enjoyed testing (and eating) their designs with an enthusiastic level of competition amongst students. A special thanks to Mr Mallarky for the photos and sharing their experienc!

Testing inclines and how weight affects speed.

Student's favourite engineering challenge spaghetti and marshmallow towers. Which design was the strongest before the marshmallows are eaten?!

Testing materials and which design is best suited to defying gravity
