Packaging Experiment

Amelia

Today we did some science experiments. We had to drop a can of baked beans on to a protected biscuit. Then we had to record the changes it made when we dropped the can on to the biscuit. The types of packaging we were using were bubble wrap, air bags and paper. Everyone thought bubble wrap would be effective but it actually wasn't. We were so suprised that we got most cracks from the bubble wrap. After that we handed in our work and got to eat the biscuit it was very yummy.

Before we dropped the baked beans we had to hold a ruler on top of the packaging. We had to measure 10,15, 20 and 25 centimetres and drop it from that height. The reason why we did this is to get prepared for the egg drop. We had to see which materials are best at protecting the biscuit or egg. After we dropped the can we had to record the cracks, crumbs and splits on the biscuit and where they occured. We had to work with partners and of course I went with my BFF, Amelia and afterwards I wanted to eat the can of beans.
