3-2-1 Egg Drop!

We have been studying forces and motions.  We have learned that gravity is a force.  We have been exploring how much FUN gravity can be.  We went out to the playground and noticed all the equipment that wouldn't be fun without our dear friend gravity.  Imagine the slide, the pole, and the swings without gravity...boring!
Today, we had fun AGAIN with gravity. We tested out our egg boxes.  We dropped them off the playground equipment.  Most of our eggs survived!

Paige's box...

it worked!

Brielle's box...

it worked!

Wyatt's box... 

it worked!

Shea's box...

it worked too!

We took our egg drop challenge to the next level.  We dropped a few from our classroom window!

Morgan's egg...

survived the ultimate drop!

Jordan's egg...

didn't survive the ultimate drop, but it did survive the playground!

What is it that we used to protect our eggs from gravity?

  

            Pillows,                           newspaper and tissue,

peanut butter,

              t-shirts,                     lots and lots of toilet paper,

and bubble wrap!
