SAVE THE EGG

One of the best lectures this year was when we did the growth game called "egg drop". If any of you have watched the series "Modern Family" then you will know what I am talking about. One of the groups ran the game.  The aim of the game is to protect the egg that you have been given with the supplies also provided. We were also told that we would have to advertise our device once we had finished. So we got into our practical groups and each of us were given some of the supplies that had been provided, for us we got all the tools. We were then told that we must go trade for the other supplies that we need. I took on that job because I thought that I could work my magic. I ended up trading elastic bands and string for

• plastic bag
• newspaper
• woolworths strawberry container
• cardboard
• foam

We came up with THEE GREATEST idea as seen in the picture.

It was then time to do our advert. Haseena came up with a great idea of what to do, here is what we said:

"If you think life is bad...How would you like to be an egg?

You only get laid once, you only get eaten once.

It takes 4min to get hard. Only 2min to get soft.

You share your box with 5 other guys. 

But worst of all...

The only chick that ever sat on your face was your mother!!!

So invest in the super egg system that will keep your eggs safe"

We had to stop often during our advert for the class to laugh, it was hilarious even for us who were doing it. I definitely think we won the advert competition.

We then went outside to test if our eggs would survive the "drop". One member of each team stood at the top and we dropped them one by one. Surprisingly all our eggs survived the long drop because us being OTs have MAD SKILLS.

Our egg survived!!!

It was such a fun activity and it really showed us how strong the bond is that we have made with our prac group. We all worked so well together. This activity could be really fun to do with team building or in many other circumstances. It gets you to plan, work together, trade, be creative etc. 

This lecture happened before our project presentations and in the middle of "hell week" so it was great to let loose and have some fun with the class. Won't be surprised if we get a report about all the noise and chaos we made.
