Willow Creek Egg Drop Contest

Rating:0/5 (0 Reviews)

A group of highly motivated, bright-eyed, never-fearing 5th graders from Willow Creek Elementary joined Steve Spangler this week for a special “Egg Drop Contest” in the 9NEWS backyard. The clever designs ranged from boxes filled with Stryofoam peanuts to jars of peanut butter and parachutes to help cushion the fall. With eggs loaded and Steve perched high above the ground on a 14 foot ladder, the eggs suffered a brutal fall. Be sure to take a look at the video clip to see the winning designs for yourself.

Egg drop competitions have changed greatly over the years with the
advent of the Internet. Students are eager to share their winning
designs on literally hundreds of websites. Just "google" the phrase "egg
drop contest" and you'll find dozes of great sites.


Here are just a few of my favorite websites sharing the greatest Egg
Drop ideas (both good and bad!)...
