4th Grade Egg Dropping Contest

The egg dropping contest is a fun thing to do in class. You get to build a box and put things in the box to support the egg. The idea is to try to make the egg not break once you drop it off the building or something else.

HOW TO BUILD A BOX.

The first thing you need to do, is make a good base for the egg like a box or a bag,something you can put the egg in .(I put my egg in a box)

But a box isn't the only thing you need, you also need a type of soft or squishy landing in the box, like bubble wrap, cotton balls or toilet paper just something soft that will help it have a soft landing.

You might want something like a parachute or something to slow it down, but it is optional you don’t really need it, it might help a little. Because, it would help, if you could make the box land upright so the egg isn’t moving around so much.

Building a box and being successful might be hard but it’s very fun.

WHAT IS FUN ABOUT IT?

 My favorite thing about the egg dropping contest is building a box, I built my box out of an oatmeal box and then I put bubble wrap around the egg and bubble wrap under and on top of the bubble wrapped egg I put those things in the oatmeal box and I taped a parachute on top of the box once everyone was done we went outside and then someone dropped off all the boxes when they dropped off mine it didn’t break. It was a success, I was really happy.

As you can see the egg dropping contest is really fun and you can have a partner to help I think you should try it.
