The Great Egg Drop

This type of egg challenges you to come up with a way to cush (or protect) the raw eggs in a container so that the egg will not crack when dropped into the container. It's best to do outside! It is wonderful to play with friends and compete with everyone in the class.

The capacity is less than 500 ml (2 cups) - this is almost three beverage boxes. (To test this, check if the amount of salt or sand required to completely fill it is less than 500 ml.)

It can not be prevented from falling from the specified height. No parachute, hanging ceremony etc.

Examples of containers and cushioning materials - Styrofoam, foam packaging, toothpicks, textiles, cardboard, balloons. Let's be creative!

Safe height is also necessary (eg from outside the pouch or window - to prevent people from colliding with these fallen eggs). Where would you lay eggs? Height of 4 meters is the ideal choice

Various containers and materials protect the eggs in various ways. Which container can keep the egg intact? why?

The Egg Drop Project teaches students to use logic and teamwork to prevent eggs from falling. There are many ways to make eggs. I will first explain the process and distribute the eggs to the students. Please set your egg drop parameters and deadline when your students need to fall or be ready to bankrupt. Many successful egg drop designs use a sturdy container to protect the contents from the initial impact of water droplets. These rigid containers can be plastic food containers or cartons. But a hard container alone is not enough to completely protect the egg. It is necessary to fill the inside of the container. Styrofoam, sponge, cotton ball, foam wrapping paper, even even a newspaper can be used to make excellent liners in containers. Give students time to practice various materials before laying eggs

For egg drop projects stretch over panty stockings or socks. Put eggs in hoses and socks, tighten the eggs, and put the socks on the edge of the egg. Paste or stick the stone to the bottom of the box, stretch the sock to the opening, and paste the top of the box to the box. Since this container is weighted, it falls only in one direction. Impact is absorbed by stone and cardboard. I will consider how the post office will transport fragile items and use this example to make egg containers. Use foam parts such as Styrofoam cups and wrapped peanuts. Fill the box with foam and place the eggs in the middle. When the box is securely attached, eggs are protected from collision and fall. Please test the device several times before submitting the final project to ensure that enough foam is used to protect the egg

A hard shell is not the only way to protect eggs when dropping eggs. A plastic bag is not like a casing, but it provides a structure to hold the filler around the egg. Add foam between the side of the egg and a small plastic bag, foam packaging or packaging of peanuts and other fillers. Put small bags in medium size bags and add more fillers around small bags. Place two bags in a large plastic bag and place a liner on top of the center bag. Please try to limit the course to a specific teaching material set, such as to make all fills be eaten. Please try using cereals such as rice puff and wheat as padding. Fruit is another option. Please use grapes, cherry tomatoes, or orange wedges between the egg and the side of the box or container. Fluid filled cells function in the same way as air filled sacs. Considering that the egg has to fall but it is not necessary to hit the ground
