Egg Drop Project

Last week in Joseph's class they worked on their class science project. They had chosen to do an egg drop experiment and were so excited when the day came to test their theories. They were each given three eggs to drop, some of them were more gentle then others and a few kids in the class ended up only have one egg to test. I guess that happens when you give a group of six year old boys eggs. When they finished testing their theories they wrote up their findings and drew pictures about the experiment. This week they have been displaying their project in the cafeteria with everyone else's for parents to see. It was so cute to see the smiles on their faces when they all received a participation ribbon. Sorry the pictures are so bad, they were taken with my phone.

The final project.

Some of the containers they used. The plastic one on the left is the one Joseph and Jackson designed.

This is great, being able to see some of the things Joseph is learning about and getting to participate in at school! Phone or camera shots, they're appreciated, Lyns.
