our egg after dropRedesign-
Parachute-get rid of the parachute because it didnt slow enough to stop fall but created enough drag to throw off target.
More Cottenballs-since we were over the 50g mark add enough cotten balls and tape to get it just below the mark
Joe's design-
-weight-Joe's design only weighed 19g making it max out on the weight achievments which is ideal for maximum achievments.
-egg survival-the pull noodle and the parachute worked wellt together which kept the egg alive while not having a load of weight.
Good point regarding the benefit/cost of the parachute. Also, good job recognizing that once you're over a weight class, you might as well max out to just under the next tier.

ReplyDeleteWhen you photograph your hand written work, take an extra moment to align your image. If a person is taking the time to read your work, you want to create the impression that it's significant.
Good job pointing out some successful designs and also recognizing how you might redesign your effort.
