The Great Egg Drop

Lydia had an optional school project to create a container for an egg using only 5 objects and it couldn’t be more than 12 inches by 12 inches. The goal is to drop the egg from a high place and have the egg survive the fall. Lydia looooooved this project. She finished it mid-day, and I’ll bet had a hard time waiting until I was done with work to test it because of how excited she was.

After work, the family gathered to see THE GREAT EGG DROP.

Here are pictures and videos:

The drop, ground view.

From the sound it makes in the video, you would think that it definitely cracked. Lydia and Lily spend some time getting the egg out from its contraption.

The unveiling.

It survived!!! Great job Lydia!!!
