On mine and Coltons egg drop project for science class we made a very simple but complex plan. We built a 3 by 3 box made out of ice cream sticks. Then when we were finished with the frame of the box we glued cotton on the inside of the box which made the cusion that took the recoil of the fall and kept the egg from breaking. Then finnaly we added a parrachute (trash bag) which would let the basket down easy. We had two invintions this was the second of the two. The first one was to complicated and wouldn't have worked as well which is why we had to change designs. When we were finished the project had looked like a wery small hot air ballon.

What I Learned on the Trip

I learned that the ride up there was the worst ride i have ever taken. It was also the longest. I learned that the channel was home to some of the largest sharks in the world. I learned that one of the sharks that like to feed on the bottom of the channel is called the bull shark. I learned that it is possible to become sea sick. I learned the anatomy of the squid witch was very discusting.
