the egg drop

So, Hamp's recent kindergarten science lesson was associated with dropping an egg off the roof of the school and hypothesizing about what might protect the egg from breaking! (how fun!)
First, the boys worked on protecting the egg - Hamp and dad decided to put the egg in a bag of sugar, wrap it in towels and bubble wrap, then tightly tape it in a cardboard box - then they decorated the box!

And Friday morning, everyone gathered around to watch their Teacher and their Principal (!) drop packages off the roof - and anxiously await to see if their egg made it!
Hamp runs over to retrieve his box - post drop...
... then he waits with all his friends to see the verdict...
... looks good!!! (these guys were pretty proud!)

The whole kindergarten shows off their science projects...
