Egg Drop/ Glider Challenge

​Bert Edwards Egg Drop/Glider Fun  Thursday May 16, 1:00pm
Goal: to get your device or glider to carry the egg safely off the roof to the ground. (No students will be on the roof!) 
Students are invited to enter this fun event on their own, with a group or with a parent. All you have to do is build a package or glider that carries a raw egg. Find a way to prevent an egg from breaking when dropped or travel as far as possible, also without breaking. Choose the materials, make your plan and have some fun. There will not be prizes or measurements. We will just take pride in our achievement.    
Rules:

1. Students may enter individually or with a partner or as a small group.
2. Parental assistance is appreciated but not required.
3. The egg must be visible. We want to see if it breaks or not.
4. The device must be able to be lifted one handed and launched one handed
5. Students will not launch their own glider
6. Glider must not be bigger than 2 feet by 2 feet- it must fit into a shoe box
7. No motor of any sort may be added

Please ensure your device has your name on it. They will be picked up at our classroom in the morning by a grade 5 student and returned to you with an egg in it at the gliding event. If you would like to join us, we will be outside watching the gliders perform at about 1:00.
​Have fun!
