Eggciting Drop

Photographs may be enlarged.

Two kindergarten classes met Friday for a friendly competition with a couple dozen raw eggs. Raw eggs, you ask? Eggxactly, but they were protected by students in some very creative ways. There were eggs packed in bubble wrap, eggs packed in jello, and eggs packed in flour. There was an egg suspended in a coffee can wrapped in panty hose. There was even an egg surrounded by air and sealed up tight in a zipper-lock baggie. You see, the competition involved dropping eggs from a ladder to see if they wouldn't break.
Students dropped their eggs off of a 6 foot ladder. In Mrs. Vail's class, two out of 16 broke; in Mrs. Dillon's class, however, only one out of 15 broke. Following the egg drop, the eggshausted teachers enjoyed a little stress relief by breaking the eggs that didn't break during the competition, which cracked everyone up!
