Egg Drop Experiment

The Friday before break, my kids were so excited. The past few weeks we have been talking about flight. So their project was to make a device that would protect an egg when it was dropped from the top of a fire truck.

As you can imagine, they were very excited. The reward was starbucks (tokens towards a prize store) if they were able to successfully protect their egg. So when the ESD came down the kids would all huddle up and wait to check the egg. As soon as i would say it was good, they would freak out screaming and yelling. The whole class, even if it wasn't their egg. It was so funny.

One of the best parts of the day though, were the firemen. They brought the truck to the school and hung out waitin for us. Then let each of my kids go up in the bucket to drop their ESD (egg saving device). They even came up to my classroom and were hanging out waiting for the end of the day so i could fill out some paperwork. But seriously, such nice guys. and so happy to spend their day helping us!

It was so cute to see all the kids supporting each other. Some even comforting the people whose egg broke! but it was a great day out in the sun.

Sunita, Tanya, and Caleb showin off their ESD.

Aidan, Sophia, and Stephanie are really pumped. Side note: stephanie is the top swimmer in Tanzania and is going to South Africa later in the year to compete against all swimmers in Africa!!
