The tension comes from the fear of an egg being dropped
In my school an "egg drop" is a project where you build a device to catch an egg.
Oh, dude, you should totally call your egg drop project "The Incredible Egg-scape" or "Egg-cellent Drop Challenge." It's like naming a pet, but with a fragile egg instead. Just make sure your project doesn't end up as scrambled eggs!
Tension in the form of shock-absorbing materials like foam or rubber bands can help reduce impact forces on the egg during a drop. By absorbing some of the energy from the fall, tension can help protect the egg from breaking upon impact. However, the design and placement of these tension elements in the egg drop vehicle are crucial for maximizing protection.

To do an egg drop project with a shoe box, you can cushion the egg inside by using materials like cotton balls, bubble wrap, or foam. Place the egg in the center of the shoe box and securely close the lid. Test the project by dropping the shoe box from different heights to see if the egg remains intact.
yes, this is usallualy done by eighth graders who build a box out of different materials and drop them from their school bleachers, then they unwrap their boxes to see if their egg survived.
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.
use peanut butter jar not alot of materials
all you is put the instructions on one page instead of slides
you get a box an make a safe area for the egg. then you stuff the box with lots of soft stuff. you then you just put a lid on it. i know because i did the same project.
The egg drop experiment is a popular science project where participants design a container that will protect a raw egg from breaking when dropped from a height. It teaches concepts about gravity, inertia, and impact forces. Participants use materials like straws, cotton balls, and bubble wrap to cushion the egg during the drop.
One way to make an egg drop project without using packaging material is to build a structure using items like straws, popsicle sticks, rubber bands, and tape. Construct a cage or cradle that can absorb the impact of the egg hitting the ground. Test different designs by dropping the egg from increasing heights to see which one protects the egg the best.
