Design Challenge – Touchdown

Mr Gaston gave 5SK the design challenge of creating a spacecraft that is able to absorb the ‘shock’ of landing. Their goal was to keep their passengers (two marshmallows) within the craft at all times.

5SK were given:
1 piece of stiff cardboard
1 small cup
3 library cards
2 marshmallows
10 tiny marshmallows
3 rubber bands
8 plastic straws
scissors
tape
