Joe Meets His Conscience?

Yesterday James threw an egg off the roof of the school.

The entire fifth grade had an assignment to build protection for an egg (no larger than a shoe box) to prevent the egg from turning into "matter" when thrown off the roof of the school.

Here is what James built:
Inside there were layers of bubble wrap, newspaper and cardboard. He decided to name is egg "Joe" and wrote on the gift tag "Joe Meets His Conscience."

The good news was that Joe lived! A little more than half of the students in his class successfully protected their eggs. The bad news is an aweful kid smashed James' egg later on that day in class. Oh well.
