How, and which type of materials effect impact when covering a helmet. This could potentially help to lesson head injuries in sports.
The project is solid, but could include more explanation of why foam absorbs impact scientifically. You did a fantastic job creating a real impact testing system instead of just guessing. I like that you tested each material three times and calculated averages. That shows strong scientific thinking. Your conclusion clearly explains why foam worked best and how you would improve the experiment next time. That shows you are thinking like an engineer.
Great job! This is a highly advanced engineering setup for Grade 5. Your custom drop‑rig and vibration measurements show impressive problem‑solving!
