Today the children at co-op got to do the classic kids' experiment of an egg drop. John (with Mary as his stalwart assistant cutting pieces of tape) tried to construct something that would protect a raw egg from breaking when dropped.
Explaining his contraption to the class
Dropping the egg
Cutting open his device to discover that his egg did break
My boys did this experiment for the Homeschool Science Fair this year. It is in fact very difficult to create a contraption in which the egg does not break. Out of five creations, the egg broke in four of them.

ReplyDeleteHow fun. We were headed out of town so were unable to participate. Gabi did get to do it in preschool last year.
