The best shape for an egg drop is a cone. Get a peice of paper, make it kind of like a tornado (shape-wise), tape the two ends so it stays together, and put the egg inside the cone. For suberb protection, add a parachute. Connect the parachute and the cone with tape to reduce weight so that it glides. The reason this cone shape works, is because the botton of the cone hits the floor first, therefor taking all the impact damage. This one last year for me (9th Grade) in Science class, and we got really awesome prised :) Sorry for sounding boring btw. I be tired... -Daniel R.

How to use gravity with an egg drop experiment?

To use gravity in an egg drop experiment, simply drop the egg from a certain height and observe how gravity affects its descent. You can vary the height from which you drop the egg to see how it impacts the egg's landing. Consider using different materials or design structures to protect the egg from the force of gravity upon impact.


What is the variables of the egg drop experiment?

The variables in an egg drop experiment typically include the height from which the egg is dropped, the materials used to protect the egg, and the surface on which the egg lands. These variables can affect the outcome of the experiment and determine whether the egg survives the fall.


What should you call your egg drop project?

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!


How does momentum and impulse affect the egg drop?

Momentum and impulse are both important in an egg drop experiment. Momentum is the mass of the egg multiplied by its velocity, which determines how difficult it is to stop the egg upon impact. Impulse, on the other hand, is the force acting on the egg over a period of time during impact, influencing the egg's change in momentum. These factors impact how well the egg survives the drop.


What is the best way to make a contraption with only 20 straws and tape to support an egg from an 8 foot drop?

take ten of the straws and make a cone type thing tape them all together.Do the same thing to the other strawsbut flip it upside down. it would look like this \/ /\but thev would be connected
