The second day at Enrich

It was an awesome day at Enrich today because the workshops were really fun and awesome. Did you know my uncle was Australian. I think I got my funny Australian accent from him. Anyway I think the coolest thing today was Egg Drop with Alana. It was all about gravity and inertia. Inertia is when something is not moving and it is resting. We had to use a cardboard roll to sit the Egg on. We had also a bit of plastic that sat on a cup with water in it. We placed the egg on the plastic but below the egg there was the cardboard roll. When it was all together we had to smack the plastic and then see if the egg landed in the water or did it crack. It did not crack at all. The reason why it landed in the cup is because when I hit the plastic out from under the egg, for a nano second the egg stayed in a state of inertia, then the gravity pulled it down into the glass because there is gravity on Earth.
