Leprechaun Parachutes
Leprechauns are always searching for an escape. Create a parachute escape and feel it with an egg. Drop you parachute from a distance of 6 feet. If your egg doesn't crack and lands safely on the ground than your Parachute Escape is ready for the Leprechaun. Post a video or picture of your creation on the flipgrid. https://flipgrid.com/steamgreen
Flying Shamrock
Materials: paper, 1 thin straw, 1 fat straw, and 1 yardstick.
Draw a shamrock and tape it to the fat straw. Bend the fat straw or place a piece of tape across the opening at the end of the shamrock. Place the second thin straw inside the shamrock thick straw. Hold the straw in one hand and blow through the straw. Measure the distance your shamrock travels. Make adjustments as needed. Blow the flying shamrock three times and measure the distances.
