Remember to write your summary card for lesson 74 if you did not complete it.

Read Lesson 75 and write a summary card for it too!  After you read the lesson, try the following activity at home for which you will need 1 hard-boiled egg and 1 raw egg - each of them still in their shell:

1) Spin the hard-boiled egg on a hard surface.  Stop the egg from spinning with your hand but do not hold onto the egg!  Quickly remove your hand.  Observe the egg for any movement.

2) Now do the same thing with the raw egg.

Do this exercise several times.  What do you observe?  Do you know why?  (It has to do with Newton's first law of motion.)
