EGG DROP

The 5th grade had an "Egg Drop" competition. Mr. Finlayson and Mrs. Weakley climbed to the roof of the school. Students were to prepare a raw egg to be dropped from the roof, without breaking. Eggs were packed in styrofoam, bubble wrap, boxes, even pudding and jello! Some also made a type of parachute! Students could also devise a way to catch a raw egg. Towels, shirts, pantyhose, and styrofoam were some of the ingenious ways! Thanks to Mr. Finlayson for the fun idea!

    Can you believe it's the end of yet another school year? The egg drop looked really fun. Our school did a similar thing, but I wasn't there to see the results. You guys are so creative. As for card group "talent" you have more creativity than me for sure. I think you're amazing!! What are your summer plans??
