Well, our campers can! This week, we invented a container to hold an egg that would protect it from breaking in such a hard impact. We wrote our ideas on design pages, and then took our theories to the test!
Each one of us had our own solutions:
Balloons were used to buffer the crash
One child carefully wrapped their egg in an entire ball of yarn
Packing peanuts were used to for cushioning
Paper parachutes
Newspaper cushioned capsules
Cattail fluff
Table cloths were used to make a parachute
We found that two plastic fruit cups could fit together to perfectly hold an egg
Balloon-suspended newspaper nest
Our final egg drop took place on Friday. Family and friends came out for the event. Our campers discussed their designs as well as the changes they made to them after their test run. It was exciting to see what eggs survived!
