Thomas Edison chapters 3-5

Bug is continuing his studies with Thomas Edison. On Tuesday he was given the assignment of designing a landing pod for an egg that would be dropped off the playhouse. He had to draw 5 ideas, and build 2 of them. Today was the drop day. He designed 1 that was wrapped in big bubble wrap and taped shut. The other one he used a hot chocolate box, and put some cardboard pieces in to contain the egg to the middle with a little bit of bubble wrap padding. Maybe bubble wrap was cheating ;)












But his eggs both survived the drop, and even survived a toss across the yard as hard as he could.
