Egg Drop and Pasta Mobile

Last Friday in Engineering Club, the fifth grade club and the fourth grade club went head to head in two competitions: egg drop and pasta mobile!  If you already didn't know, egg drop is when you have to make a contraption that will hold an egg and when your device is dropped that the egg won't break. Pasta mobile is when you have to make a car entirely out of pasta, and then you roll it down a ramp and see how far it rolls. 

Me and fellow blogger Frenya did the pasta mobile together and we got third place! But fourth grade got first place. I then went solo on egg drop and when they dropped my contraption, it made a really loud sound.

We had to do our own science competition because we were going to go to Science Olympiad but when our computer lab teacher, Mr. Sugi, called the company, they said that they had no more room for another school. I was angry during egg drop because not many eggs broke, so they went by weight to find the winner! Mine was the heaviest so I lost. I will just have to wait till next year in sixth grade.
