Science Expo

T makes a thingy to keep his egg from breaking. He was given a couple squares of cardboard, some bubble wrap, a piece of masking tape, a couple straws and pipe cleaners, some rubber bands, and a raw egg.
The egg is placed in a box and dropped from 8'--if it survives, then 12', then 16'.
Egg drop--16'.
T makes silly putty.

Our local community college held a science expo on Thursday, April 3. Science students made exhibits and demonstrations which were open to the public. The highlight is the egg drop (described and pictured above). Hands-on experiments (like silly putty) were popular. There were live reptiles, a water-bottle rocket launch, paper plane making, and many other exhibits.
