Today we are going to drop eggs off the roof. We are going to use materials to pad and slow the fall. We are going to see whether our egg will crack/break or not. We are trying to not let our egg break. We have tape, cotton balls, parachutes (coffee filters), padding, bags, tupperware, paper towels, and tying strips to not let our egg break.
Hints: slow velocity/speed
- increase the area (added air resistance)
- pad the egg to spread the impact
Thoughts: The paper towels are for padding, the cotton balls are padding. The coffee filters are for a parachute. The strawberry crate is for the box where the egg lays. When we dropped the egg, our egg cracked. It has one big crack with lots of other tiny cracks leading out. Next Wednesday, I am going to put the steel wool on the bottom.
