th egg drop

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 plus egg from bridge, etc. The front of the snake will act as a crumple zone, thereby protecting the egg (makes a mess of the snake, but that is outside the parameters of the experiment) Then cut open the snake and remove the egg (snake already deceased, so this is no longer an ethical problem)
2.Its really quite simple — can’t imagine how he’s forgotten that he dropped it while it was still inside the hen! Just make sure it’s not a hen with clipped wings-specially if the roof is high…
3.Theory has it that, given sufficient height, aerodynamics will cause the egg to align itself to land on the blunter of the two ends. The egg is remarkably strong in this orientation. As long as it falls onto a reasonably forgiving surface, a lawn maybe, it won’t break — sometimes! Safer bet is for Grandad to drop a hard boiled one and palm his stunned Grandson a raw one.
4.I recently dropped an egg from a roof-top and was able to achieve a drop of some 15 metres without the egg breaking. How? The roof was 16 metres from the ground. It was that last metre that always did the damage.
5. 1.Hold the egg carefully in your hands and jump off the roof.
2.Put the egg in the middle of a 1 foot square styrene block.
3.Take the roof off, sit it on the ground and roll the egg of the edge of the roof next to the ground.
4.Immerse the egg in liquid nitrogen first
5.Fit the egg with a parachute.

6.It’s really very simple, the clue is to spread all the force during the retardation phase
