Don't drop the ball on the resource ... drop an egg instead! A teacher-led demonstration has the class consider how to drop eggs into glasses when a tray is in the way. Hint: If you've ever seen a magician pull a tablecloth off a table, you probably already know the answer. This is the seventh lesson in a 25-part Energy Systems and Solutions unit.
