Egg Drop


So I gave my kids a project to create something that would keep an egg from breaking when dropped 18 feet. This really turned out to be something that they enjoyed and it was fun to actually drop the projects. My original plan was to get up on an 18 foot ladder and do this...thank goodness for my wonderful Principal! She found a willing gentleman with the district to come do the drop and he promised to bring a LIFT! This made the drop even more exciting.


As the day of the drop approached we realized that bad weather was predicted. They were calling for sleet and COLD weather. Leave it to me to pick that day. We postponed the drop for a couple of days which ended up to be a high wind advisory day! We made it through the first 2 classes and had to postpone the last. Here are some pictures of our fun, windy day!
