McKenzie's Egg Drop a Success!


McKenzie's 4th grade class performed an egg drop from the aircraft control tower on base. After a little research on the internet....oh the power of the > internet.....she discovered that marshmallows are a great cushion. She packaged her egg tightly surrounded by marshmallows in an empty large soup can. We closed it tight with duct tape and attached an umbrella. The umbrella didn't work as a chute, but turned upside down and carried the tin can to the ground.
There were three drops from the tower. The first was from the lower level, the second was from the higher level and the third was from the higher level without a chute and removing some of the packing. It was a lot of fun and her egg was safe after all three drops. It worked! Great job McKenzie!
