I put a egg in some tollet paper. And wraped it in other stuff wrape it in anything soft. Then put in somrthing like a small basket and put the egg in the basket. Then get somewhere high and drop it and if it bust you did not put anouth softness on it so keep on trying and you will get it very soon.

My experiment went well. My crate stayed in tack and my egg did not break. What I did was make a crate using the popcicle sticks. Then I put a paper parachut on top to slow the fall. I found that the others that had thick crates did well also. We also found that parachutes are usualy the best way to go.

When I did this experiment I wasted about 5 eggs. I had to do an illustration of this project along with resources. The resources were Impact forces, elastic collisions and accleration due to gravity. I had trouble finding info on these.

At our school we would put the egg in something then drop it. I made a box and put a parachute on it and dropped the egg in. It worked perfectly.

Keiko challenged us to use only newspaper and rice only, It worked out perfectly. I just cut out a lot of pieces of paper and made a little pillow out of it. Then I put more paper on top, then I sealed the top a little bit loosley with tape. Then I put rice on top and I tried from 4 ft. high, and it worked.

When I did the egg drop I used newspaper crumpled up into balls and I sprinkled rice on top. I dropped the egg and it didn't brake! The crumpled up newspaper gave it a lot of cushion because it broke it's fall better than if it was just flat. I think the rice didn't do anything because most of it sunk to the bottom in between the cracks of the newspaper.

It cracked open because I only had a few cottonballs and papertowels and then elastics around it. My Mom said "Please don't use the straws... I just bought new ones."
