EGG DROP PROJECT Using principles of physics‚ design and construct a container for a raw egg that can be dropped from the second story balcony of St. Joseph’s Academy and strike the ground without breaking the egg. The finished container must meet the following criteria: No professional packing materials (such as bubble wrap or Styrofoam peanuts) may be used. The egg must be raw and either Large or X-Large. If a parachute is attached to the container‚ it must be made from

This egg drop experiment forced me to think and develop a design that I felt confident with. I developed several models and tested them numerous times‚ but could not settle on one. Eventually‚ I was able to put an addition onto one of my designs which gave me confidence in its ability to protect that precious egg. I will explain why my design worked so well in respect to impulse‚ air resistance‚ and stability. First‚ I will discuss impulse. Impulse is a force acting briefly on a body and producing

Egg drop projects teach students to use logic and teamwork to protect their eggs from a fall. There are a variety of ways to conduct an egg drop. Begin by explaining the process and handing out eggs to the students. Set the parameters of your egg drop and a deadline when your students must be ready to drop their eggs or go bust.1.Get an egg-eating snake‚ give it the egg and wait until the egg is about half way down the snake‚ then fit the snake with tail flights (cf a dart)‚ then drop said snake

Luis Berrios 3/7/12 Physics Honors B Block Egg Drop Project For this project‚ I made a capsule for an egg that is to be dropped from about twenty feet. This capsule that I made was not what I was thinking at first but when I started to build it‚ I saw that this capsule would hold better than the one that I was thinking which was a triangular capsule with the egg in the middle but I saw later one that the egg would break if it hit one of the flat sides. The capsule is a cube that is made out

“In what way can a drop an egg off of a building without it cracking?” when I first asked this question a believed that it would be an easy task. I however‚ was very wrong. As I came up with ideas Mr.Billy kept on turning them down saying “that isn’t allowed.”‚ but in my defence most of the things that were not allowed were not written in the rules. In the end our design was very successful in safely delivering the egg to the ground. With changes it probably could have been improved‚ I was happy

For my egg drop project I used marshmallow fluff. I took a little of fluff out and put the egg in. Then I put some more fluff on top of it and compressed it in. When we got assigned the project the first thing I thought of was marshmallow fluff. I wanted something that would hold the egg so it wouldn’t move and break. I also taped the lid with duct tape so the lid wouldn’t fly off or break. The marshmallow fluff is super sticky and thick so I thought it would be perfect to hold the egg in place.

NASA Egg Drop Competition Josh Bryant Purpose: The objective of the project was to build a structure capable of bringing the egg safely to the ground without harming or damaging the egg in as little material as possible. Equipment: One larger bottle One smaller bottle One red balloon One blue balloon Too much tape Procedure: The procedure to make the device was as simple as cutting two bottles in half so that you may then stretch the balloon

For my egg drop project I made a contraption with a garbage bag‚ yarn‚ cardboard‚ Popsicle sticks‚ and hot glue. First I cut a medium sized square out of cardboard. Then I stuck Popsicle sticks in the shape of a square with three sticks on each side. After that the sticks were hot glued to the card board from top and bottom. And in order for the egg to be seen from the bottom I had to cut a circular hole into the bottom of the piece of cardboard. To suspend the egg I made a rubber band net. First

Physics Essay By: Robert Bruce Egg Drop Project May 5‚ 2014 Its a very well know fact that eggs are very weak and it doesn’t take much for them to break. Just ask me‚ mine cracked when we dropped it from the bleachers. Then broke when we dropped it from six feet. My grouped used two plastic bags‚ some rubber bands‚ pop sickle sticks‚ and cotton balls these materials were not effective in this project though. So the original project was to create a vehicle that will protect

Tiron Yang 8A Egg Drop Experiment May 26‚ 2015 The objective of this assignment was to construct a structure out of straws and masking tape to withstand the pressure of a drop at 2 meters above ground while sheltering a raw egg inside it. When we were planning out our design‚ we thought about the pressure the structure will receive. That was the most important factor because we were assigned a flimsy material (plastic
