Broken Eggs POWBy: Faith LeonardThe problem is that a farmer is taking her eggs to the market in her cart. Along the way, she hits a pothole, which jars her cart and spills the eggs. The farmer is unhurt but every egg is broken. She goes to her insurance agent, who asks her how many eggs she had. She doesn’t know, but what she does remember some things from various ways she tried packing the eggs. She knows that when she put the eggs into groups of 2, groups of three, groups of 4, groups of 5, and groups of 6 she always had 1 egg left over. But when she tried putting them into groups on seven she ended up with no egg left over. What we did was find…
When assigned the project of creating a device to secure eggs in a collision with a pendulum at increasing velocities, I immediately thought of a car crash. Cars must be built that so that they will protect the passengers during any type of collision, like my project must be built to protect the eggs. Upon this thinking I decided to design my egg crash project like the design of a car. I would create an inelastic collision between the pendulum and project, meaning…
Kinetic energy is when the object, the egg in this case, is in motion. On the other hand potential energy is when the object, again the egg in this case, Potential energy is the stored energy of an object, such as gravitational potential energy which depends on the mass and the height the object is at. In the egg drop we were hoping that the Eggpollo 6 would absorb the energy of impact, which would transfer the energy away from the egg and cause the Eggpollo 6 to protect the egg from breaking. The straws helped absorb the impact by bending. The toothpicks helped absorb the impact by stopping the straws from bending too much stopping the Eggpollo 6 from compressing too much. If I could do the drop again I would make the project as bare as possible for the mass requirement. But not so bare that there is almost no protection. I would put an egg in a small chamber just big enough for the egg to fit in made of straws and toothpicks in the straws hot glued the openings on both side of the straws then at one end of the chamber put straws on the sides going out at as close you can get to a 45° angle. At the end of the straws put a box on it at hot glue it to the…

One of our traditions that my family and I have is cascaron egg hunt. We only do this on easter, so what we do is inseatd of waking up and finding eggs in a basket we go out side and find cascarones, which our confetti eggs. Who ever has found the most cascarones gets to be the frist one to crack an cascaron on someone head. By the time when everyone is done cracking cascarones on everybodys head, theres a big mess it looks like a confetti bomb blew up.…
Chipmunks are part of the Rodent family, and considered to be agricultural and horticultural pests when they eat gardens and destroy plants and shrubbery. When Chipmunks are present in larger numbers (and their numbers are always larger than you think) they can cause significant structural damage by burrowing under patios, stairs, retention walls, garage aprons and foundations. In your garage, storage building or home they cause enormous problems and even put your family in severe danger by eating electrical insulation and building nests in your walls.…
I believe the innkeeper learned he shouldn’t have tried to make a profit off the farmer over ten scrambled eggs that were incapable to hatch. He also attempted to make the farmer try to pay four thousand kroner because it took the farmer four years to come back and pay for the eggs. In paragraph three the innkeeper says “ If those ten eggs would have hatched I would have had ten chicks”. There was nothing the farmer could do which made the innkeeper think he would get the four thousand.…

Teacup pigs, also known as micro, pocket, and Juliana pigs, can actually fit into a small teacup when they're really young! They are undeniably adorable, cuddly and smart. Lately, they're popular pets for celebrities including Paris Hilton, Miley Cyrus, and Rupert Grint! Read on for interesting facts about the teacup pig.…

There are varieties of plants out there but the Venus Flytrap might be the most interesting plant. The Venus Flytrap is an odd plant because it moves on it’s own. It has an electrical impulse throughout the leaf. This means whenever it feels something touch it’s small trigger hairs, the plant will shut. There are several other interesting facts about the Venus Flytrap.…
