Posted on 03/20/2014
Garden City, N.Y. – On Thursday, March 13th from 9:30am-1:00pm the Cradle of Aviation Museum said goodbye to Old Man Winter and celebrated the return of spring with eggs and a year-round phenomenon—gravity! Newton’s Egg is the Cradle of Aviation’s annual Egg Drop Contest. Over 500 students from first to eighth grade participated, each with the hopes of protecting their egg from a two story drop off our balcony. Participating schools included: Marion Street in Lynbrook, Newbridge Road in Bellmore, James Wilson Young Middle School, Holy Family, Bowling Green in East Meadow, and Lawrence Middle School.
