Eggcellent Race!



Farming is hard work, but sometimes we have so much fun we crack up!

Last week, we were asking ourselves, "How we work as Scientists?" and in order to learn our jobs during our Science part of the day, we joined together as teams for the Great Egg Race! A game/lab played by your very own teachers here at the Chets Creek Farm, our Second Graders designed a vehicle to transport an egg the farthest without cracking. Now, they didn't do this without help. Well, there were the Table Farmers (Leaders), Milkmaids (Material Managers), Roosters (Time Keepers), and the Farmhands (Recorders). These important roles helped our tables create the perfect way to transport an egg using only a bandana, tupperware, silly bands, a straw, and clothespins. What a hoedown! The races were fast and furious and some of our passengers, the eggs, were cracked. We found out that the team that worked together the best carried their egg the farthest without a scratch!!! Yee Haw for Science Jobs!!!
