Egg Drop Lab Report
Data The mass of the structure without the egg was 120g The score calculation 2000/120g The number of points we received total was 73 points The mass of the structure with the egg was... 2000/136.5=14.6x5=73 Results Test #1 The height of the first test drop was 15 feet. It hit the ceiling and the egg did not break! Test #2 The height of the second test was about 20 feet. The egg was thrown down the stairs, it did not break at all. Final Test The egg was thrown into the air by Ms.Janik and it broke..
Post lab questions
   1) My final design would be a pine sol bottle cut in half, and wrapped with a t-shirt sleeve. Inside of the bottle contains the following materials:
A) medical gauzes (15-20 will be placed into the bottom of the bottle),
B) a peice of an egg carton (just one piece to hold the egg in place),
C) rubberbands (to close the egg carton closed tight),
D)T-shirt sleeves (to wrap the egg tight and cover the bottle).
2) The design was modified from my initial hypothesis by my partner and I. Together we had a completely different structure; that structure would have been to heavy. My initial idea was a tissue box to keep the egg cushioned and safe. However, the bottle was a great idea, because it was not heavy and it kept the egg in place. The first structure was way too extreme, so we modified it into something smaller and more likely to keep the egg from breaking.
3) The purpose of having multiple test drops would be to see if our structure would work or not. If we did not test our structure we would not have known if our egg would break or not. Therefore, it was important to test our structure. 4)My structure did not protect my egg, my egg broke. I believe that the problem was that we wrapped the egg too tight, and it did not have enough support or cushion to keep it from breaking. The weird part is that our structure was tested in many ways, and thrown the same way the teacher threw it. 5) If I could change my design, I would change the way the materials were placed, and I would definitely have added more cushion to the bottle and all around the egg for more support. I would also change
