8th Grade Egg Drop

March 7th, 2010

Yep, you read it right.  We’re throwing – I mean dropping – eggs.  I’m looking at the weather and still thinking we’ll plan for Thursday, knowing we may have to do this on Friday.  I’ll start taking containers on Tuesday so we can make sure we have everything together.  We’ll put them in the lab.

Remember the rules – the only thing you can buy is duct tape and your container can be no bigger than a shoe box.
