This week we did out egg drop lab. My group included melody and kawai. We thought that the more cushion we put in the box, the more safer our egg would be. So our group decided to use a shoe box and pack as much cotton balls as we could both in the actual box and on the cover, so that it would protect the egg in case the box flipped over during the fall down from akahi. We decided to put a box in the middle of the shoe box to hold the egg. Then we decided to wrap the egg in felt, to cushion the fall even more. When it came time to drop the egg, we were extremely nervous. Melody dropped the egg from the top, and all we heard when it hit the ground was a hard thud. We thought for sure that our egg was cracked, when we opened the box we found that the egg was surprisingly still intact. We were so happy when we found out that our egg survived the incredible fall. We learned more about physics, and how things like contact time, gravity's pull, friction, and many other factors play a role in such a simple experiment such as this egg drop lab.
