How do you keep a raw egg from breaking when you drop it from 2 metres high?

This question is typically given to younger students to get them to be creative with packaging materials and experiment with different methods of absorbing impact forces. Over the years my students have been sucessful with many different methods but the fun is really in working as a team sharing results, trying things out for yourself and getting to make a mess! Here are some idea - 1) Use bubble wrap in many layers fastened with sticky tape. 2) Box the egg in cardboard and fill with the box with flour. 3) Put the egg in a plastic water container (they used a infants plastic thermos flask) filled with water. If the question doesn't put any restrictions on you try thinking about some more inventive ideas. Could you be 2 meters high but drop the egg off the edge of the building? Could you build a ramp for the egg to roll down? Could you attact a bungy to the egg so it doesn't hit the floor even though it gets dropped. Remember its not gravity that smashes eggs - its the floor! (I'd say: Leave it in the chicken.)

Here is a good egg drop project that is lightweight and will not break when dropped: Here's What You'll Need: An empty water bottle (plastic), REALLY SHARP Scissors, Scotch tape, Bubble wrap (about two feet long for extras or mess-ups), Egg. How To Make the Project: Take the Water Bottle and cut it in half with the scissors, then cut the bottom of the bottle about 2 inches and keep the bottom and the top with the lid. Take off the lid and tuck in the bubble wrap about 2 inches in the top of the lid. Then cut 2 1/2 inch (on all sides) of bubble wrap and cut about a 4 1/2 inch (on all sides) of bubble wrap. Take the egg and wrap it in the 2 1/2 inches of bubble wrap FIRST!!!!! Then wrap the egg in the 4 1/2 inches of bubble wrap. Take the end of the bottle with the lid and put the egg with the bubble wrap in it until all the bubble wrap is in the half-bottle. Then take the bottom (2 inches long) and turn it around so that the inside faces outward and fit it in the top half with the egg, then take the Scotch tape and put it so the bottom is secure.Then your all DONE!!!!!You have a small, lightweight egg drop project that will not break when dropped!!!!!Trust me, I have tried it and it works very well!!!!! then you go to the bathroom and take a big ole duecerr.

What is the best material to put in a bag and drop an egg on?

I can't believe anyone is really interested in an answer to that question. Nonetheless the answer depends on what you want to happen to the egg. If you're hoping it will not break or crack then the answers would be peanut packing or bubble wrap. If you want it to break then try cement.
