Future Engineer?

This is from several months ago - I don't know why I never got it posted, but here it is, better late than never!


So during the Mother Goose week at her school, Gracie and her class got to participate in an egg drop experiment. They were given sandwich bags, a variety of materials to choose from and an egg and told to try and devise something that would keep their egg (Humpty Dumpty?) from breaking when they dropped it from a few feet up.

Well, Gracie and her friend Kareth were the only two (out of 16 kids) whose eggs survived the fall. Gracie will tell you that she didn't choose the straws because they were "like pokey" and she thinks that the blue ribbon, which only she and Kareth had tied around their bags, were critical to the design.
