Egg Drop

Today my science classes did an egg drop project.
The goal was to design a package for a raw egg that when dropped off the top of the building would not crack!
The kids had a blast and came up with some really cool ideas.
One kid made several peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches and wrapped them around his egg.
The eggs had to last through a total of three "drops"
*the first drop was just that. I held the package out over the edge of the building and dropped it.
*the second drop was actually a throw. I threw the package as far as I could into the parking lot.
*the third drop was really a slam. I threw it down as hard as I could.
We had a total of about 5 out of 28 eggs make it through all three drops.
Don't know if I'll do this project again though unless I can convince someone else to go up on the roof!
I'll post some pictures later!
