EGG DROP!

Humpty Dumpty helped us start out our egg unit. (click here to check out what we did)

We then learned about all the different kinds of animals that hatch from eggs.

We discovered that 

Snakes, turtles, birds, octopus, platypus, spiders, ostriches, penguins, sea horses, fish, and alligators all hatch from eggs!

Then we made these fun eggs: 

At the end of our EGG unit, we celebrate by having an EGG DROP!

Each child brings an egg protected any way these kiddos can think of....

...and Mr. Brandon drops them from the roof!! 

We watch as they come crashing down to the ground.....

and HOPE our eggs don't crack!!

We open the packages up to see if the eggs cracked:

 And GRAPH THE RESULTS!! 

We recorded our results in our journals:

EGG DROP

 Even though I lost a bunch of photos, I was super excited that the EGG DROP photos were saved!!

We spent some time this week talking about animals that hatch from eggs.

To culminate this unit, we celebrated with an EGG DROP!!

Of course the day started out with 2 feet of snow (really... after weeks of spring weather, we had SNOW!!)  But alas, the Egg Drop must go on! (and it did!)

Here's the morning class all BUNDLED up  ready to watch their CAREFULLY PACKAGED raw eggs take a rooftop drop! 

 Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great .... 

FALL!!!!!

 Here's the afternoon class with their practically perfect packages!!

 Each egg was packaged SO differently!

 We even had some moms and younger siblings come as extra spectators for this fun project!!

After all the eggs dropped, we opened up the packages to see if the eggs cracked or did NOT crack!

After some graphing, we wrote about the results in our journals!
