Man, I never did this. Try wrapping with Duck Tape?
The link tell how they protect the egg with 30 paper towels and drop from about 2/3 meter (24 inches) you may need 40 paper towels for 1 meter.

i will help spell issues (except the instructor has reported in any different case). i will help them get their concepts and techniques into paragraph type. i will torment them with an eraser until each and all of the subject concerns on the homework are superb. i will no longer be able to write or draw something except its exhibiting the thank you to make a letter. while they get whiney, they do slightly extra. I already sense like I would desire to help extra effective than I could for projects (yet I understand babies choose help with those). I refuse to do my childrens' homework. I felt tormented with my 2d graders recent undertaking. He mandatory a diorama and checklist a pair of biome of his decision. no rely how no longer worry-free we appeared, lots of the books talked over his examine, so I did alot of interpreting and explaining. I appeared up colour photographs of his animals and flora. He assembled, coloured, wrote the element, yet I did help. often times i think of instructor's assign father and mom those projects as a exchange of the youngsters.
