Egg Drop in Mr. Lee's Grade 7 science class.

Here is what Mr. Lee had to say about this fun scientific project.

The Grade 7 Science class competed in their annual Egg Drop competition on April 17. Each student had to create a container that could be no larger than 15 cm x 15 cm x 15 cm and into that container they placed an egg. The containers were then released from a relatively constant height and the students eager  checked to see if their eggs survived the fall or not. It was interesting to see the variety of designs that were employed to protect those precious eggs.

In the end the two winners were (these were the containers that were the lightest and still protected their egg passengers):

                7A:         Griffin Green
                7B:          Kristen Peever.

Congratulations to all the Grade 7 participants on their ingenuity, their enthusiasm and their use of scientific principles.
