yes it can
depends how much covering the egg has if the egg has 1 layer of paper it wont protect it. But if the egg is covered by play doe it will protect it. There will be a crack or a scratch.

ok just did this project this week my idea is the BEST- susoend the egg from a stretchy matirial like panty hose or ruber and the egg will never break-tip:ip u put card board suports and Duct Tape on the corners it will work even better

give me a trust point now...

Egg drop project ideas that work?

A good egg drop project could be to see which type of egg falls the quickest (raw egg, boiled egg, and roughly boiled egg which is not quite boile nor raw). Then go onto a high structure, and time how long it takes for each egg to fall. By the way you'll need a partner for the experiment.


Good ideas for an egg drop project?

Your goal here will be to dissipate the kinetic energy of the falling egg in some way rather than breaking the egg. Energy is going to be conserved, one way or another. Any of this energy that can be used to do work on something else is work that will not be available to break the egg. This means that you want to build a structure to surround that will undergo "controlled crushability". You want the structure to collapse without completely coming apart. Assemble your structure so that paper will tear, straws will bend, tape will rip etc. You will also want the structure to distribute any force that is applied to the egg evenly across the surface of the egg. The real issue here is "energy conservation".


How the shape of an egg protect the unborn chick?

For example, try to drop an egg on the more 'pointy' end and it shouldn't break the shell. The spherical shape of the egg shell help distribute the weight when the hen is incubating her eggs. It will be more less to be damaged..or cracked


What are some examples for how to drop an egg without breaking the egg its self. or even purpose for how to drop an egg without breaking the egg its self?

It depends on how far the egg has to drop. In High School we had to do 1 story, about 10 feet drop with only 1 sheet of 8x10 paper. The most successful projects involved a combination of an airfoil design parachute with some crumbled up paper under the egg to act as a cushion.

How do you make a good egg drop project with only paper and tape?

To do the experiment that determines whether an egg will break or not when dropped from certain heights requires tape, a paper bag, and a raw egg. Wrap the egg completely with tape and place it in the paper bag. Then drop the egg from various heights and check to see if the egg broke.

Which force is a vessel in an egg drop experiment is trying to lessen?

F=ma = mass x acceleration Lowering acceleration (or in this case deceleration) is the key to egg integrity.


Gravity experiment science project?

you could take an egg over a bowl and drop it after that put two holes in another egg and drain it out then when you think its drained all the way drop it and figure out wich ones faster at falling and why


Will cheerios protect a falling egg in the egg drop experiment?

no! because if you have cheerios they are really easy to break so that would not be good protection for the .. because if you drop the egg with cheerios surrounding it and all the cheerios break or fall off you have an protected egg and it will be more likely to break.. this answer was brought to you by h j.darling(Kelsey McGuire )


How do you not break an egg?

By securing it in foam, and then in a crate or box made of a hard substance. Or use lots and lots of bubble wrap. It's what one of my cousins used for his egg drop experiment
