For the past three years, high school students at N.C. State University’s materials camp get to find out what happens when you drop Silly Putty from the roof of the D.H. Hill Library. Last year, the camp dropped 30 pounds. This year they dropped 50 pounds (organizers order it in bulk).

Do the pieces retain more rigidity than normal after the crash? They look like fragments of ceramic rather than silly putty.
