Egg Drop

A few weeks ago Brenna's class did the age-old egg drop as a science project. They had to design a "spaceship no larger than a bookbag" to protect their egg from a fall out the Gr. 4 window onto the back parking lot. Here is "Egg Force One." Mind you this was due the day we returned from Spring Break so she whipped this styrofoam-lined-with-bubble-wrap contraption up when we came in from Boston Sunday afternoon. (And she incorporated Uncle George's idea of weighting the bottom to ensure it wouldn't flip when falling.) She did one experimental drop out her bedroom window which was successful. Luckily her real drop at school was too! It was a fun project and once again I love being at school to catch these things on camera.
