What 'Egg'sactly Is Going On?

Madison, from Mrs. Rodriguez's 4th Grade, prepares to put her creation to the test. 4th Grade teams designed carriers to keep their eggs from breaking when dropped from the second floor. Most were successful at protecting the egg, and received great cheers. But it was the couple that broke and splattered yellow goo all over the sidewalk that drew the loudest response.
Throughout the project, students learned about gravity, kinetic energy and force. This hands-on project really added to the learning opportunity. Each student has a real understanding of the concepts and memories that will last forever.
