The Northeast Vernon County R-1 8th grade, 9th grade, and STEM classes had a blast with the 2025 Egg Drop Challenge! Even though not all the eggs made it, everyone enjoyed participating. The event is a fun and hands-on way to tie together gravity, force, and acceleration lessons. By applying these concepts in real-life scenarios, students can better understand the physics behind what happens when something falls from a height and the forces at play.
