The children in class 6 spent one afternoon dropping toast onto the floor!
Don't worry we didn't make a mess!
We were doing an experiment to find out if Murphy's Law is right.Murphy's Law says that if something can go wrong, it will!
So if you drop a slice of toast, it will always land with the butter side on the floor...
It was part of an experiment that Children in schools all over the country were doing at the same time.
The newspapers said that 150,000 children would be dropping toast...
And that we might be Record Breakers!
The Experiment was organized as part of Maths Year. We were asked to take part by the Internet Maths Newspaper called THE SUM.
