The Egg Drop Science Elective

 In Science, we we're learning about Newton's First Law inertia, we used 1 toilet paper roll, a plastic plate, a plastic cup of water, and an egg. We set up the cup of water first then placed the plate on top following on with the toilet paper roll and the egg. Then you have it all setup you just have to simply nudge the plastic plate, don't do it too hard or else the egg and the water will go everywhere, when the egg was moving, it did not want to stop, the container of water interrupted the egg's fall.

I found it easy to use the smaller cup because when we tried the bigger cup it was harder to get the egg inside the cup of water than the smaller cup. (In my opinion)

I found it hard to try not to crack open the egg and let it spill everywhere because Toby and I cracked a couple egg's because I think we were both applying too much power into the nudge.

Next time I will try not to crack the eggs because all the egg white went all over my hand and it was disgusting and slimey. 

Rock/M&M's Stacking Science

 In Science, we we're learning about how nothing but gravity holds rocks or other stuff when you're stacking them, my highest rock stack was 5 and my highest M&M's stacking was 2.

I found it easy to stack the rocks because how I was been able to stack it to 5 is because they we're not as curvy as m&m's.

I found it hard to stack the m&m's because no matter how hard I would try to stack them but I didn't give up, the current world record was set by a Maori All Black and it was 5, when I heard that I was shocked, Vinzent and Tyran stacked 3 m&m's.

Next time I will try harder to stack more m&m's or rocks because I felt like I could of stacked even more.
