Abby's class had an Egg Drop yesterday. They dropped them over their "tunnel" and then graphed the results. They also talked a lot about probability prior to the drop. There are all kinds of neat math concepts you can work in there! :)
Each child had to bring in some kind of packaging with their egg safely wrapped. This was a project I handed over to Matt. He chose a gigantic diaper box, which provided an interesting challenge at the drop. It almost didn't fit through the window! Oops! But it made it through-
And the results? Did it break?
Aha! It turned out this class had great results. 12 safe landings and only 6 broke. Not too shabby. What a fun morning.
