In 2003, Wolf Ridge Environmental Learning Center in Finland, MN was awarded IAATE’s Interpretive Award for being able to visually demonstrate the strength of an egg. Since then, many organizations in Minnesota have started using this demonstration. Most of these educational programs strive to teach about the connection between the chemical DDT, bioaccumulation, and peregrine falcons. This interactive demonstration shows how strong eggs are without the influence of DDT. It is fun, attention getting, interactive, has a great message, and is messy.
