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 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.
in my scence class, we are learning about momentum. My teacher suggested an Egg Drop to better learn about the properties of momentum while still having fun! :)
Eggciting The great drop
the outside of the egg will be hard because the egg will be boiling
it cracks open
The Saltwater shrinks the egg because salt shrinks anything
SaltWater
When you put a raw egg in vinegar, the acid in the vinegar dissolves the eggshell. This leaves you with just the egg membrane. When you then place the egg in saltwater, osmosis occurs where water moves from the egg to the saltwater or vice versa depending on the concentration gradient, causing the egg to shrink or swell.
A raw egg gets lighter when placed in saltwater due to the process of osmosis. The saltwater has a higher concentration of solutes compared to the liquid inside the egg, causing water to move out of the egg through the semi-permeable shell. This loss of water from the egg makes it less dense and gives the appearance of being lighter in the denser saltwater. Consequently, the egg may also float in saltwater, as its buoyancy increases.
yes
Saltwater is denser than freshwater, so when you add salt to water, the water becomes more dense. When you place an egg in saltwater, it floats because the density of the saltwater is higher than the density of the egg, causing it to float instead of sink.
Siemen's egg drop is a experament, where you have to wrap the chicken egg in materails and drop it and hope it doesn't breah.
Probably a chicken.
cuz saltwater is more dense than freshwater

In my school an "egg drop" is a project where you build a device to catch an egg.
