Egg Drop Challenge: 8th Grade Science Project

 This post is for Mr. Brewer. This is my last Science Experiment for Montera Middle School. I will turn in the worksheet on Thursday 6/5. 

Goal: 

• To design a containter that will prevent a raw egg from breaking when dropped from the roof of the 300 building to the concrete below. I didn't do the experiment at school so I used the 2nd floor window of my building. 
• To analyze the motion and forces actin on the container, determine their importance in your design, and calculate their quantity

Observations

• Mass of container with egg: about 5g (rough estimate) 
• Time of fall: 1.73 seconds
• Initial Velocity : 0  (Because we haven't done anything yet)
• Final Velocity:  16.95
• Distance: from 2nd Floor to ground

Notes: 

The Egg did not splatter as much as I thought it would. The Cup I used may have not been the best idea for a container. I liked the experiment. It would have been better if I actually completed it in class. The Formulas were difficult to find from home. I will do better and pay more attention.
