In order to properly place landing pads, students filled plastic Easter eggs with rocks. These practice eggs weighed the same as real eggs and got cracked before reluctant eggs ran the chute.
To "egg" them on, kids cheered and clapped and then the trek began. Most eggs fell to their sudden death; however, Angela and Eggy were survivors. They even successfully slid down the high dive, the top of the book shelf.
The best landing pads were funnel shaped with lots of give. Anyone who folded newspapers put their eggs in grave danger. As winning eggs, they received the reward of going home with the teacher to be eaten.
However, they became blog celebrities on Wordless Wednesday. I know you want to know about the Wordless Wednesday before this one, when I missed it doing something secret. Sorry, but I still can't reveal. I will let you know soon.

Kudos to Angela and Eggy for surviving the "gauntlet" :-)
Wow, i wish my teachers had done stuff like that with us when i was in school.
Hope they tasted good!
What a wonderfully fun project you did with your class. Congrats to the artists who created Angela and Eggy. Although, if the project was in May, I hope you didn't wait this long to eat them. :)
that's a cool experiment I bet my kids would love doing!
And then.... egg salad sandwhiches for a week! LOL
Only the fittest survive :D Were they good?
haha 'egging them on.' You're funny. :)
