The Top Science box holds a surprise for two families who must succeed in throwing the most eggs from a 3-metre stepladder onto a rigid surface without breaking. They have only a dozen eggs at their disposal and they must find at least 2 different ways to protect the egg from the effect of gravity. In case of a tie, the family that…

The Top Science box gives our two families something to build a catapult: will they make it, and who will score the most points?

Two families will have to succeed in building as many self-propelled cars (i.e., self-propelled by their own means) that can travel a minimum distance of 30 cm, using the elements provided in the Top Science mystery box. In the event of a tie, the family whose car covers the longest distance wins. One small catch, they need to do it…

The Top Science box is a great challenge for both families. They will have to design a cardboard boat that will float in their pool with one person on board for as long as possible. In addition, the person on board must use the oars to constantly move forward and be in motion. The family that manages to make the boat that floats the…

Our two families have to build rockets propelled by pressure and pass them through the target. The rockets must obligatorily have 3 ailerons and a pointed cone (a cap) on their head. A large rocket that passes through the target is worth 3 points, a medium one: 2 points, and a small one: 1 point. The family with the most points wins…

In the Top Science box, our two families receive three different colored ice blocks and tools to melt them. The family with the most water harvested by melting the ice and without mixing the colors wins!

The two families had to build two bridges of 30 and 50 centimeters, and hold as many cans as possible on them without collapsing.

Families must pass a light beam through a maze of boxes where they will place reflective objects to reach the Top Science targets. The light must bounce off at least 4 boxes before hitting the target, and the family with the most points wins the challenge!

Families need to create a hydroelectric system by running water through a pipe system to a turbine, which must rotate fast enough to generate as many units of energy as possible! The family that can generate the most units of energy from a single bucket of water wins!

Today, families need to create as many musical instruments as possible from what's in the Top Science box, and be able to play the chorus of the children's song 'fait dodo'. The family that can make the most functional musical instruments wins!
