Egg Drop

After gently blotting, weigh all three eggs separately inside their own individual weigh boats to the nearest 0.1g and record the weights in Table 1 at time 0. Place eggs 1, 2, 3 into separate culture dishes containing solutions of distilled water (0% sucrose), 14% sucrose, and 40% sucrose respectively. The sucrose must cover the entire egg inside the culture dish before proceeding to the next step. Place a napkin down on the lab counter, at 15-minute intervals, remove the eggs from the dishes with large spoon; place on napkin and wipe off all excess water each weigh boat must be clean as well before weighing; and again, weigh each egg separately. Record the weight in Table 1: Weight of Eggs vs. Time (minutes). Replace the egg in the dish for the next interval. After the experiment is complete, return the eggs to their container and each solution to its labeled container. Clean the dishes and weigh boats and return all materials to the setup

In football the force of impact can be dangerous. Helmets are constructed to protect the brains of the players. Without this protection the player will receive major damage from the impact of the force. In this lab, students will construct a device that will protect an egg from the impact force from the drop. The egg acts as a substitute for the brain and the device is the “helmet” for the egg. The independent variable of this experiment is the trials; the dependent variables of this experiment are time and velocity. By using the laws of physics, students will construct an efficient device that will protect the egg from the harsh impact of force.

For this project, I made a capsule for an egg that is to be dropped from about twenty feet. This capsule that I made was not what I was thinking at first but when I started to build it, I saw that this capsule would hold better than the one that I was thinking which was a triangular capsule with the egg in the middle but I saw later one that the egg would break if it hit one of the flat sides. The capsule is a cube that is made out of the tongue depressors and I used most of the yarn for the big cage and I used the Elmer’s glue to glue the tongue depressors together. I used pieces of the paper clips to hold the popsicle sticks together with the tongue depressors and some

With the styrofome cup fill it with enough water to put inside the solo cup weighing down the egg

The purpose to this experiment was to study the effect of osmosis in de-shelled chicken eggs in different percentages of sucrose solutions. Osmosis is the process, in which, water moves across a differentially permeable membrane. The eggs were soaked in vinegar to remove the outside hard shell but still leave the egg in its membrane. By placing the six de-shelled in different sucrose solutions, we tested the rate of osmosis. The eggs were placed in the solutions for an hour and weighed in fifteen minute intervals. Then, each weight was recorded and graphed. The results showed that the egg in the water solution gained the most weigh and the only other egg that gained a little weight was the one in the 10% solution. All the other eggs in the different solutions lost weight, even the unknown solution. According to the results the egg that was in the distilled water solution gained weight because it is the hypertonic solution. All the other eggs lost weight because they were placed in hypotonic solutions with different concentrations of sucrose. The egg that was placed in the higher concentration of sucrose lost the most weight. So, the higher the concentration of sucrose, the more water the egg lost.

The purpose behind the egg drop project is for students to understand the concept of momentum, collision, impulse and force. To do this, they will create a protective carrier that will surround the egg. The egg will then be dropped from a certain height. The device that is created should weigh enough to increase the time of impact, therefore decreasing the force of impact on the egg so it doesn’t crack.

The evidence that was collected in the experiment refuted the day one hypothesis because after the egg soaked in vinegar for 72 hours, the mass of the egg was not the same, it was greater than before. The day two hypothesis was also refuted because after the egg soaked in maple syrup for 48 hours, the mass of the egg was not greater, it was less than before. The evidence collected accepted the day three hypothesis because after soaking in deionized water for 24 hours, the mass of the egg became greater than

By the end of the experiment, it was predicted that the egg would be swollen when left in water and shriveled when left in corn syrup. Based on the data given from the table above, the prediction is, more or less, right. The egg did, in fact, shrivel up and the weight of the egg did go down as well. Compared to the beginning of the experiment where the egg had an initial mass of 81.50 grams, but by the end of the water aspect of the research the egg ended up weighing 93.74 grams, therefore, there was an increase of 12.24 grams. Using the data table the weight from the start the syrup aspect of the experiment was 93.74 grams, after being left in syrup the egg weighed a total of 57.32 grams, thus, the egg decreased in weight by 36.42 grams.

We had to do an egg drop so when it is dropped from 20 ft it wouldn’t crack.. But I really didn’t have any background knowledge on egg drops because I never did one. But I did know that by putting a plate on the bottom it would make it float down and not fall. So when it was dropped from 20ft it wouldn’t crack.

Explore how this works in this science activity. Background If you put an egg in a cup of tap water, it will sink to the bottom. Why is this? Because the density of the egg is higher than the density of tap water, so it sinks.

Have you ever heard of drop the egg challenge? Well, I’m here to tell you about my drop the egg challenge. You have to drop the egg from a distance in the air, but the egg cannot crack. Yes, it is possible. Here’s the supplies my partner and I used. We had a bowl, rocks, cardboard, four paper towel rolls, gorilla tape, hot glue gun, and of course an EGG! First we placed the rocks in the bowl, then glued a square foot piece of cardboard on top of the bowl, next we glued/taped the paper towel rolls (on top of the cardboard glued to the bowl), after we cut a small circle in a small square piece of cardboard (so the egg can fit in it), therefor we glued the egg in the circle and we cut a half of a bottle and put it

An egg has a semi-permeable membrane, thus processes like osmosis could occur. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of higher water concentration to an area of a lower water concentration. Osmosis is important, especially for living organisms, as they help distribute nutrients in the body. An egg’s mass would change when it is soaked in different substances. The goal of this experiment was to investigate how an egg changes through osmosis. This experiment was done to show how substances affect the mass of an egg. To start off, an egg’s mass was measured by putting the egg in a beaker then placing it on a mass scale. The beaker was then filled with vinegar and left alone for twenty-four hours. After a day, the egg was taken

Three. Two. One, Launch! Our car kicks upwards, then tears down the track, threatening to flip in its maniacal speed. I’m competing in “Scambler”, an event at the national Science Olympiad competition where I build a car that gets an egg as close to a wall as possible and as fast as possible. A meter from the wall, the car hits its breaks, but it keeps moving, leaving black marks in the floor as its wheels grind against the ground. And yet, a hair’s breadth before the wall, the car stops. The run leaves the egg 5 millimeters away from the wall in under 4 seconds. Surely good enough for top 6 in the nation.

4.15. The purpose of this investigation was to use our knowledge on osmosis and diffusion and apply it to a de-shelled egg and see how it reacts being submerged in a sodium chloride solution. The hypothesis was that the egg would expand and increase in both size and weight this is proven correct in the table of
