Support your Foundation students in the Physical Sciences: On the Move unit of work with the assessment task, Rolling Eggs Experiment.

Tailored to the Foundation Physical Sciences Australian Curriculum, this activity will provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate their understanding of how objects move and how factors including their size, shape or material influence their movement (AC9SFU02).

Students will investigate whether raw and boiled eggs roll differently, by comparing their trajectory down a ramp. They will need to make predictions, record results, make observations and draw conclusions about the movement of the eggs. The experiment promotes discussion and challenges students to articulate the reasons why they have drawn conclusions or made predictions.
