Throwing eggs off the sky bridge.

Blogateers, we had ourselves and Egg drop. The video above is the final stage of that. It shows one of the teams of engineers throwing their final design off of the PLMS sky bridge. Each team had 35 minutes to put together a contraption to protect their egg from cracking and then we did a test drop.

I asked each team to make predictions about what would happen to their egg. Each team got to watch all the other egg drops, so as the tests when on everyone became more and more confident that the eggs would survive.

I did not provide any examples  or let the kids go online to see what other people had done in the past. ever design was an original PLMS creation. 

 Because everyone was so terrified of their eggs cracking on impact often the most dangerous part was unwrapping the whole creation to check.
As a side note I was asked so many times to let the kids walk out on the roof. I would never do that.

I had never seen someone just matryoshka balloons around and egg before. It was totally spit BTW, that egg was fine.

These girls might have over prepared more than anyone else. As they said themselves, they wrapped the egg in an entire roll of toilet paper.

They finally got it unwrapped and the egg is totally fine. my ears are still ringing from that scream. Well blogateers, until next time this has been the  excellent thing we did this week that I was able to record in some way!
