Quainton Church Of England School

During Home Learning in Spring 2021, lots of our pupils had a go at our SUPER SCIENCE CHALLENGE! We had to design a landing device that could keep an egg safe, just like the Mars rover 'Perseverance' had to land safely on the surface of Mars.
Well done to everyone who had a go! See some of the videos and photos of their fantastic investigating below.
