actual egg drop

Today (april 18, 2012) we did an egg drop. An egg drop is where we each make a device that stops an egg from breaking. Lots of the designs worked. My design was a small 8x8x12 cardboard box with an egg suspended in the middle of the box with rubber bands, it worked. My favorite deign was Lawson's, He had a small pouch attached to a bunch of balloons, it worked also. It was a lot of fun building the devices, plus my design was a lot of people's favorites.
