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.
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.
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".
An egg drop that works best has a real sturdy shell and a shock absorbing interior. I once put some small holes in a metal coffe can and used duct tape to suspend the egg in the interior by creating a web of duct tape into the inside thru the holes and it was impossible to break the egg
There are many different ideas but these are the 3 best and easiest to do. Make a string phone, you can do a egg drop and also there is there is one where you can grow salt crystals .
yes it candepends 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.
all you is put the instructions on one page instead of slides
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!
your nuts
The tension comes from the fear of an egg being dropped
Yes, jelly can work in an egg drop project as a cushioning material. Its gelatinous texture can absorb impact and help prevent the egg from breaking when it hits the ground. However, the effectiveness depends on how well the jelly is contained and the height of the drop. Using jelly in combination with other materials can enhance its protective qualities.
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.
I am sure this is going to work.Put a bunch of Rubber Band inside a big plastic cup.And then put 2 pieces of tissue, then tape the egg to your protection.It will work for sure!It work fore me just today!

use peanut butter jar not alot of materials
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.
