Cracking Into Science
First-grade teachers at Yulee Primary School, Mrs. Anderson and Mrs. McNally, had a challenge for their students. Students attempted to walk on eggs to see if they could crack them. This experiment helped students discover how hens can sit on the eggs without damaging them. After walking on the eggs, students tried using their hands to crack the eggs. It was an egg-cellent day!
