Can you keep your egg from cracking?
Adam makes me laugh. An assignment in one of his classes was to design a container in which to place a raw egg, such that the egg would not be damaged when dropped from the top of the football stadium. Most of the students were employing bubble wrap (yay!! I love bubble wrap!), Styrofoam peanuts, pillows--other such soft stuff. It all made sense. Adam, however went to school today holding his container: a can of cranberry jelly with the egg tucked safely inside and the lid taped securely back on. I can't wait to see if the egg stays in one piece. I have no idea how he thinks of these things.

That was my favorite assignment in middle school. Good luck to Adam and his cranberry jelly. : )
ReplyDeleteI did that assignment, too, in elementary school. I loved it! We cut a nerf football in half and stuck the egg in. I'm very interested to see if the cranberry will work.
ReplyDeleteIt worked! The egg was undamaged.
ReplyDeleteI did that in elementary school, they dropped our eggs off of the top of the school. I wrapped mine in washclothes and then put it in another container. It didn't break.
