Logan's turn.

Then it was time for operation egg drop.  Students constructed a container that an egg could survive in after being drop from the tower.  Read about Pilot Knob and its tower here http://www.igsb.uiowa.edu/browse/pilotknb/pilotknb.htm

Students anxiously wait for their egg project to fall.
