Aaron,

this activity can be found in ESERO for older children as A Soft Landing.

I like the way you have structured it, since this allows the children to use their knowledge of materials as well as their understanding of forces.

A variant that we run at Blackrock Castle is to allow a small budget per group to ‘purchase’ materials. In this way, the children have to make decisions about what they think is essential. Top tip from my colleague is to have the string affordable!
