Yeah, I’m that kind of dork. My son is actually thinking of calling this science fair experiment the Eggcellent Egg Drop. So it runs in the family.
Lesson learned: let him choose one that’s messy and gooey and the child will complete the experiment, and his observations, in record time!
You start with some peanut butter…
…which is something the dog certainly appreciated.
He chose four materials to use to see which would best protect the egg. And he had to do three trials of each. So 12 plastic containers await their turn to be dropped. From six feet. Not so bad, right?
The water version held up better than we thought it would.
Tissue paper? Not so much.
Peanut butter rocks! (Until you have to clean it off of everything, that is. Ew.)
