We measured in feet
and inches
and made our conversions later.

Lessons Learned from Last
Year
-
Read the instruction page from the Technospud page carefully.
-
TAPE your eggs shut if you are going to fill them... the glue did not work! We used packing tape.
-
We used the pod (hallway) for our egg roll. Trying to not waste paper, we decided to mark off a 3" section with tape. We marked each tile since each one is 12". The only downside to this was that the eggs rolled F-A-S-T and F-A-R!
-
We had opposing classes stand opposite each other. Next time, we will have them sit. With all of the eggs-citement, sometimes we missed where the egg exited the lane.
-
The teachers kept the master sheet where the distances were recorded. It would be better to have each student keep a list of all rolls. (Helps keep them busy and focused.)
-
We started with the first student in each class. Each student had two chances to roll their egg. After they were finished, they went to the end of the line and we moved on to the next person. We alternated sides. The lines just kept moving forward.
-
Everyone had a ruler in hand. If the egg stopped or rolled off in front of them, they measured the distance. We did this in feet and inches and then converted them to all inches once back in the classroom.
Favorite Activities from Last Year
Fashion Show
Each student was
given an egg to decorate.
They also had to write a bi-EGG-raphy
to go with their egg.
If we would have had more time,
it would have been nice to record them.
We had such a hard time
deciding who had to best egg
that we ended up
not sending one to Technospud -
we declared everyone a winner!

Language Arts and Art
- Have fun with words that begin with the "ex" letter combination, which (when eggs-agerated) sounds like "eggs" in words such as eggs-cited, eggs-traordinary, and eggs-asperated.
- Provide students with large, egg-shaped sheets of white paper.
-
Students use cut paper, crayons, and other art materials to create a character for one of their favorite ex words.
- The
character's appearance should in some way "eggs-plain" the
word. For example:
- The egg-shaped character named "eggs-hale" might be wearing a track uniform and be breathing heavily after a long race.
- The "eggs-pensive" character might be decked out in jewels and driving a Corvette convertible.
- "Eggs-plode"
might… Well, let your students use their imaginations and get
carried away!
