The kids in Stephanie Noel’s Grade 2/3 class at Columbia Park Elementary had an eggs-ellent eggs-periment last Monday, June 20, as the reliablity of their home-made egg-protection devices was tested by tossing them off the school roof.

The children used balloons, parachutes and even padding to try and prevent the raw eggs from breaking when they impacted the pavement.
