Helmet Experiment

Lesson: Science

As part of our 'Healthy Me' Science topic, we have been discussing how cycling is a great way to keep fit.  We then talked about how to stay safe on a bike, especially how a wearing a helmet is very important. The children thought about what materials helmets are made from and why that material is used.  After this, the children had a go at making their own ‘helmet’ for a hard-boiled egg ‘head’ using different materials.  We talked about how to carry out a fair test and then went outside to test our helmets! Take a look our photos to see which material was the most successful!
