We presented a Mission to our homeschool group: Create some kind of contraption you can place an egg in and drop
to the ground without the egg breaking. They dropped their eggs from a height of approx. 6-10ft. Everyone had
a lot of fun, and there were some very creative devices!
Natalie (4 at the time) used some basic concepts in her design - a cushioned area for her egg to lay in (like a
bird nest), and a rubberband restraint (like a seatbelt in a car), along with a lid to hold it all into place. Her egg
survived many successful drops!
