Powdered Egg Project

Hypothesis: If I place an egg in corn syrup, then the egg will become small and the outer layer will not look like rubber any longer.

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

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.

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.

3.Place each egg in 2 of the plastic cups. Fill each cup with distilled water and Monster Energy Drink that is enough to submerge the egg

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.

Our egg drop was designed with many strategies in mind. One of them was to build our design with as many triangles as possible due to the triangle being the strongest geometric shape due to their ability to distribute force evenly to all three sides. This would spread the force off the impact on the floor throughout the structure making it when it fell no one point would get the full blow of the impact. Another tactic used when building our structure was trying to make it symmetrical. So that if it rolled while falling there would be no weak points for the structure to fall onto. Another tactic used when building the design was building out around the egg so that when dropped the structure would bounce and the force

This is the final step of the experiment. The shell-less egg was now placed into a new cup, but very carefully, as the egg was more fragile than when it was soaked in vinegar. The egg in the new cup was then covered with water. The egg sat in the water for a 24 hour time period once again. During this 24 hour time period the eggs appearance and size were once again recorded. After the time period had completed, the egg was removed from the water and was very carefully patted dry. Since the egg was now swollen, extra care was needed when holding the egg. The swollen egg was placed on the scale on last time and its mass was recorded as M3.

The fun thing about the egg project is that it challenges you to construct and figure out a way to protect a fragile object ,which in this case is an egg, from hitting a hard surface from a high elevation an prevent it from breaking . it may prove to be challenging since you have to elavorate something from simple objects and make it able to withstand a hard impact from above to the ground

The straws were used as a spring for when the egg hit the ground. The cotton rounds went against the egg so the straws weren’t directly in contact with the egg. We wrapped the egg with the cotton rounds and duct tape multiple times, both horizontally and vertically. When choosing our materials we took into consideration size and weight. The heavier the device the more momentum it would have during the drop. Other groups use heavier materials giving their devices more inertia, increasing the impact of the egg on the ground. We put a lot of thought into our choosing our materials and it paid off

When the 4 eggs were weighed it was found that out of the 4 solutions, 2 were hypotonic and 2 were hypertonic. The mass of 2 of the eggs increased and the other 2 decreased after 60 minutes in the various solutions. Out of the 4, the most hypotonic solution was the distilled water; and the most hypertonic solution was the solution with 2.0M glucose. The

This team building activity is called “egg drop.” Although the process is not as simple as some of the other challenges, this can be solved easier with a group rather than by yourself. This activity does require you to think quite harder than the others though. The goal of this activity is to be able to drop an egg off of a building without it not cracking. The way to do this is to construct a contraption to keep the egg safe from the impact of the fall. Each group should get at least 20 to 30 minutes to complete this. They can use any materials they would like to. This team building activity uses creative problem solving, collaboration skills, and most importantly teamwork.

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

An egg is a fragile object that breaks when a small amount of force acts upon it, but many people have tried to prevent it from breaking when it falls by building contraptions for it. The egg drop experiment is generally used as an experiment to teach students about the concepts of physics. There are many ways to prevent an egg from breaking when it falls. One example is to use a parachute to slow down the descent of the egg. Another example is to wrap the egg in bubble wrap to cushion the egg’s landing. The technique you decide to use determines the results that you get. I have always been interested in doing an egg drop experiment because it involves building and dropping things. For my first MOS project, I decided to build different contraptions
