Can You Drop An Egg Three Stories Without Breaking It? These Bratt Elementary Kids Can

March 23, 2018

Do you think you could design a container using common items to protect an egg dropped 35 feet from a utility truck bucket?

Most second graders at Bratt Elementary School can.

Thursday, the students took part in egg drop with the help of Escambia River Electric Cooperative. The protective containers were created using things like paper towel roll, straws, bags and coffee filter parachutes. Most of the students were successful with their eggs surviving the three story drop without cracking.

    I could do that but I would have to drop it from four stories.

    Very well done to all; looks like a project that included parent participation we need to see more projects like this. Thank you EREC for helping.
