Tuesday
Egg Fling

April 3, 2007

Village of Barboursville 3rd Grad TAG built egg flingers from the Simple
Machine sets
starting with the sturdy
base they used for their swings.

They used the strain energy from a rubber band.

They pulled out the axle used as a catch.

Miller 3rd grade TAG built egg flingers.
The eggs could go very far. The challenge was to get it to go
exactly in the basket.

That worked.

But it was safer to have the basket in a corner so that the eggs did
not go where people were.
