As a grand finale to Viola's study of forces and motion everyone made a contraption to house an egg that was dropped 100ft from a fire truck. We have been anticipating this all semester and I was nervous that I would miss it due to having a baby (who is due on Monday). Peter came early and got to take part in the festivities, snow, wind, and all.
He loved his first snow, as you can see.
Sadly the parachute on Viola's contraption got a bit twisted in the wind and did not open. I think it still slowed the fall a bit though.
And...It survived!!! The design was so good that it didn't need the parachute.
Thanks fireman!
She's one proud first-grader. (In a good way)
