your legs
Possibly, but tin foil is rather fragile, and easily torn. A cotton or silk fabric would make a better, more resilient, parachute.
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.
A skydiver - he uses a parachute that slows him down as a result of air resistance acting on the surface of the parachute
parachute is opened to provide air which manages the slow chute
Styrofoam.
What you do is take a plastic bag, then tie it to what ever your egg is going into.
Add a parachute and something soft under it
Make the parachute wider/bigger or make the parachute deeper. Make the thing pulling it down lighter. Hope this helps. =)
Use nothing
Place the egg in a bottle filled with water and attach a parachute.
A raw egg (ApexLearning)
I have done this experiment in the past- I created a parachute! 1.The basket of the parachute was made of approx. 12 layers of thick bubble wrap with a cardboard door to keep the egg in. 2.The Parachute was made with a double reinforced thin plastic (a plastic tablecloth will do) It should survive, good luck!

For a middle school project, you should design a parachute that is the right size for a small action figure. You can make the parachute out of an old pair of parachute pants.
dip the egg in cement and then you can kick it, throw it, or hammer it..... just paint it white
You would have to account for all the places that might hit the egg and all the forces that act on it. You should have a parachute-like structure to create drag/air resistance to slow its fall. You should make the bottom of the container that holds the egg soft (eg. with a sponge). You should cover the container with a soft material such that if it were to rotate upside-down, it would fall on something soft. Make sure the egg is not moving freely in the container. Put fillings (eg. Bubble Wrap) around the egg such that it does not move freely when it falls and hits the ground. It should be very similar to the boxes that come when you buy electronics, except for the fact that it would be smaller and would have a parachute. Good Luck.
