2008 Egg Drop

On Friday, November 12, the fifth graders held the 12th annual Crystal Spring Egg Drop. NBC, NPR, and The Roanoke Times all turned out to cover our event, which turned out to be one of the most exciting ever.

Fifth graders, what did you think? What devices did you enjoy watching? What ideas will stick with you? And what would you do differently if you could build an Egg Drop contraption again?
