June 29th

Today it has been a `hands on` day. We had two labs this morning. That was pretty fun. I was surprised to see all the display that the teachers brought to the class: big rulers, fresh eggs, rubber bands, plastic bags and a huge ladder!

The experiment was very well set up. They included a worksheet to register the data.
It was very funny trying to get the correct number of rubber bands to get a successful  egg jump.

The students can do it . In deed it would be better with tennis balls instead of with eggs.
Its a curious way to understand physics topics such us gravity, weight, high, resistance..

We can use this experience as an introduction in physic.
