| When the Avon Grove Middle School needs a ladder company assist, they turn to the West Grove Fire Company.
Each fall, the science class at the Middle School is given a physics challenge -- design a container to protect an egg from a long fall. Eventually, after a number of preliminary rounds, teams are given a chance to "win" the competition by trying to protect an egg from a long fall -- in this case, from the top of Ladder 22 in the parking lot.
On Thursday, several classes had their egg containers tested from about 75 feet above the ground. Not all of the eggs survived, but the students learned some valuable lessons about physics, materials and the laws of gravity.
As always, all of us at the WGFC are grateful for a chance to participate in the students' education. |
