This project began on March 20, 2006
and ended on the 14th of April!

In the past we have conducted this project with hardboiled eggs -- but due to the waste of food and also the mess involved............
the 2006 project used with
2" PLASTIC EGGS!!

You will also need 2 tablespoons of filler for each egg
(such as rice, dirt, sugar, sand, noodles, etc)

All students were encouraged to decorate the eggs either at home or at school. It was also suggested
that teachers glued the eggs the night before to insure the eggs not breaking apart during the roll.

They needed a measuring tool to measure at least 30 feet (marked off by inches).

They needed to make sure that the area you rolled on was straight and flat. No downhill slopes allowed. :)

Each student rolled their egg down the butcher paper or designated marked area. Where the egg stopped (or left the butcher paper) is where they marked distance. It was to be a NORMAL roll and NOT a throw. (The arm needs to swing back NATURALLY (shoulder height) and swing forward in a normal swing. When they release it, it should have ROLLED as if it was a bowling ball.)

Teachers averagee all the rolls for their ENTIRE class.

** Students could also decorate 1 egg for the roll and the other egg for an "Egg-ceptional Fashion Show."
(characters such as Abraham Lincegg, George W. Egg, The Wicked Egg of the West, C3PEgg, Darth Egger, etc)

Students (or parents/principal/other guests) voted for the favorite egg, take a picture, and sent that picture to me.
A Fashion Show Page was created to show off all the eggs entered!!

The PK through 2nd grade MAY have parental help!! However, remind your parents this is NOT their project. Any eggs that do not seem age appropriate will not be allowed in the Fashion
