This week we learned about OVIPAROUS animals or creatures that are hatched from an egg. We were fascinated to learn that all birds, insects, snakes, turtles, frogs, fish and even dinosaurs belong to this group.Today
was an EGG-stra EGG-citing day. It was the day of our EGG DROP experiment. We
each had a chance to drop an egg (in a container of our choice) from the
announcers stand at the baseball field. Each container was carefully designed
to hopefully keep the egg inside from breaking. We had lots of creative
containers! By experimenting, kids get
a chance to think creatively and practically to solve a problem. Children
take away practical knowledge to solve a similar problem in the future or
develop creative solutions to other problems by using the same logical process.
What fun we had experimenting and learning!
Our girls proudly presenting their containers!
Our boys and their containers!
many cubes.....
and two bag shapes.
The insides of the containers were the most creative! We had teddy bear stuffing as well as peanut butter, oatmeal, bubble wrap, cotton, paper towels, Easter grass and even water balloons to protect our eggs!
After showing and telling about our container, it was time to drop our eggs!
We had to very carefully climb to the top of the stand.
10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1.....
Let them drop!
Did they survive?
Some survived!
Oops! No.
But it was great fun!
We had a great time experimenting with our eggs today! Thanks to all who helped your child make a container for our experiment. We had a fun time learning!
