Wow, what a perfect day. Finally we can get outside and test out the egg experiments from the book, Thomas Edison Young Inventor. The point is to be able to throw a raw egg across the yard without it breaking.
First D threw an egg across the yard. As you might have guessed it broke. So the kids each came up with their own packaging ideas that they hoped would prevent any more breakages.
D used two ziplock bags that she filled with packing peanuts. She placed her egg between them and tied it all together. It worked!!! Not a scratch on her egg.
C decided to go with a parachute. After dropping it off the porch twice without it breaking, he decided he'd try throwing it. It survived!!
B and D proudly showing off their unbroken eggs.
This was B's packaging. There was no way his egg was going to break in this baby!! All three of them used different ideas and all three were successes. Plus, they all had a great time.OK, we're off to make some Irish Soda Bread. Happy St. Patrick's Day!
