South Aiken students stage egg drop study with inventions
Second graders at South Aiken Baptist Christian School explored gravity and force through an egg drop project. Kayla Bolin attached a parachute directly to an egg, while peers devised capsules, balloons and a wooden airplane to protect their eggs. Teachers praised hands on learning and noted foam failed while duct tape proved effective, with some eggs bouncing to a safe landing.
