Today is Gifted and Talented Tuesday. The younger group I am working with are doing dioramas that feature living and non-living items set in a scene. The older group are working on planet PowerPoints, and than paper mache replicas of their planets.
But, I wanted to share one of my favorite science experiments from last year..... The famous egg drop. The kids have so much fun with this challenge and I thought I would list our materials so that anyone could replicate this one on their own.
Description: A team of two will construct a cargo crate to protect an egg from breaking. The crate will be dropped free fall from a height of approximately 4 meters.
Materials: Contestants may use all or any part of the following materials all of which must be supplied by the supervisor to construct a crate.
1. One 8.5" by 11" sheet of standard copy paper
2. 15 drinking straws of any size (minimum length 5 inches) in any combination.
3. 15 Popsicle sticks
4. 100 cm of string
5. 100 cm of masking tape
6. 5 rubber bands
7. Must use one raw egg.
We ended up with only one team not have an egg break, how well can you do?
Riddle for the day: A man is pushing his car. He stops in front of a hotel and immediately knows he is bankrupt. How did he know?
