EGG DROP!!!
Yes its the classic egg drop activity!!! Whether you consider this an astronaut hurtling through space and Earth's atmosphere trying to touch down safely back on Earth, or just the crazy person jumping out of a perfectly safe aeroplane hoping the parachute opens for them to glide on home, its the traditional game of drop an egg from a height and see it land without cracking!
In this home version the rules are simple:
In this home version the rules are simple:
- You can use WHATEVER materials you wish. HOWEVER - the egg must be visible within the device (for example: you can not wrap the egg in towels and pillows so it can not be seen - the egg must be visible in some part when it is dropped)
- You must drop from a minimum of your head height.
- To be acknowledged as completing the task, a video including vision of yourself and the egg drop must be uploaded to the Microsoft form (remember 10MB max so keep it short! Can send Sharepoint/Onedrive link in comment section if required)
- As extra incentive, the person who successfully drops from the highest location (proof of height must be included in the video) and proves the egg has landed safely will win a prize.
