1st grade egg drop

The 1st graders had egg drop event.  They were instucted to put a egg in a ziploc baggie and then put it in some sort of container that would keep it form breaking.  Dennis help Julia with the engineering of the packet.  Julia had a lot of great ideas and Dennis did mostly what she told him to do. They cut two big sponges in the middle, put the egg in there with some cotton balls and then taped them together.   I helped her with the decorting, her favorite part. 
Here is Dennis practicing the night before.  The first attempt broke, but they made it better....and......

Her egg made it!!!  She was so happy!!!  There were only 5 in her class of 19, that did not break, so I would have to say that she had a pretty good egg protection..
