Personal Narrative: My Egg Drop Project

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.

Hypothesis: If I place an egg in vinegar, then the outer layer of the egg is going to become slimy and look like rubber. It will also become larger and bubbles will form on and around the egg.

The science behind this project is conservation of momentum, conservation of energy, force time trade off, and Newton’s first, second, and third laws. These can be used to ensure the eggs safety before, during, and after the egg is dropped. When dropped there are many forces that act upon the egg, some of these are gravity, speed, velocity, and acceleration. When the project is built it is important that this is taken into account. If the science behind all of it is used properly the egg should not break when it hits the ground.

Making the experiment is not that hard (in my opinion). Besides the experiment taking your time, and your pateince, the experiment will require you to make a carrier for the egg (usually made from wood, plastic, straw, or paper). The next material you will need is the wheels. The wheels are goiong to probably be made out of similar materials. You also will need a seat, which the placement of that seat can be anywhere. The few final things you will need is an elevated surface such as a table. You will need a ramp for the carrier to go down, and you will need a wall to stop it of course. From there you can add any of the safety features you feel neccesary, and see what happens. If the egg stays together, congrats! Your car works, but if it doesn't crack don't worry you still did a good job, because the egg represents a human. To make the egg even more believable as a human, you can add putty to the outside which simulates skin, and the inside of the egg is organs, and delacate tissue. The egg car was also used to learn about Kinectic energy.Kinetic energy is energy in motion. When the car is atop the ramp, the carrier would have an amount

Grab your styrophome cup and fill it appotrpiratly with water until the egg is weighed down

To make a more sturdy boomerang, make one out of cardboard or experiment with different boomerang shapes. You will need scissors, cardboard, a pencil and a ruler.

When I went to check the egg, I saw that the egg just cracked a little, but it was less than what it was during the first trial, which broke completely.

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.

“FUMBLE! Bo Wallace fumbled in the end zone!”, yelled the announcer at Davis Wade stadium in Starkville, Mississippi. The 2013 Egg Bowl was truly a remarkable event for me that I will never forget.

We did that for all three eggs and recorded that data down. Then we put the eggs into their cup marked with their solution and waited 24 hours to record the data again. We then got another egg for our control and measured it the same way as the other eggs and put in water for 24 hours. The reason we used this set of procedures is so our experiment would be very accurate, and easy to do so we would

It is time to take measurements and collect data. Take a ruler and measure the height of both eggs. The take a bit of yarn (enough to wrap around the eggs) and wrap the yarn around both eggs separately to get their individual circumferences. Then place both eggs on the grams scale individually to get their weights. Observe their color and shape to get some qualitative data. Rinse the beakers and fill both with 125 ml of water each. Place one egg in a beaker and place the other egg in the other beaker. Record the density by subtracting the current reading of water in the cup by the original amount of water in the beaker. To begin the experiment, remove the egg shells from the eggs. Take one beaker and fill it with 100 ml of vinegar. Take

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

I had to get some duct tape, a balloon, some straws, and some card board. Then I put them all together by duct taping the straws after bending them the way I like then I put the egg inside and added a balloon and it worked surprisingly. It fell like a rock and it landed sideways it wouldn’t make sense that it didn’t crack. It didn’t have a scratch besides the one I put into it to measure. The body worked perfectly, but the balloon didn’t help at all. It didn’t lessen the blow but it is okay, it still stands today.

In my group we built a drone that is meant to protect an egg from shattering. The drone has 4 wings, one parachute to combat air resistance, a chamber to hold the egg, padding in and below the chamber. Our primary goal wasn’t only to keep the egg from breaking, but not having any type of damage inflicted on the shell.
