The highlight of our unit this week is the EGG DROP experiment we did in groups. In this experiment, the challenge was for the groups to ensure that the raw egg will not break when they drop it from the second floor down to the ground.
To do this, the Grade 2s were asked to plan and design a structure to prevent the egg from breaking when dropped from a higher place. The Grade 2s were provided materials such as soft small cushions, paper rolls, paper towels, tape, straw, plastic bags, and others to use for this experiment. They were also allowed to bring one material from home.
There were different ideas shown. However, ALL eggs broke. Look at the pictures of our structures below and let us know why our eggs broke. ;)
Anyway, it was a good try! What is important is we had FUN and we worked as a TEAM!
