Egg Drop Project 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. Momentum is the mass of an object times it’s velocity. The velocity of an object would be it’s rate and change of direction. A collision occurs when two or more objects collide with each other. This causes the kinetic energy, the energy of motion, to be transferred
Building it was alright, you just need a lot of supplies to make your egg not crack. For your egg not to crack you need to make sure your supplies that you use is good. My egg came out very good when it dropped it came slow. It came down slow because of the parachute. I was scared to drop it at first because I was afraid my egg was going to crack.
Once I have examined the eggs, I will then take them out of the containers and place them on a paper towel. Once I have dried the eggs off, I will start to test each one to determine how high each one can bounce and which one will break first. I will do this experiment by dropping each egg no more than 2 inches from a tabletop. I will make a note of how many bounces it took before each egg broke. I will record this on my data sheet. Once I have completed this experiment, then I will be able to answer the question I have.
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.
In the lab of “The Falling Eggs and Automotive Lab”, we had to design a protective device able to hold the egg and allowing it survive from the impact of hitting the ground from the top of the staircase. We did this lab to investigate newton’s Laws and prove how they work. In the lab, we have to observe the forces that act on the egg and evaluate the way they work. We do this lab with an egg to relate to a real life collision with a car. The egg is essentially the person and the device that the egg is in is the Airbag. We use our knowledge about airbags and apply that to this lab in order to make the egg survive and not crack.
With the styrofome cup fill it with enough water to put inside the solo cup weighing down the egg
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
The egg baby activity was an activity I particularly enjoyed doing in my college career. I am actually familiar with the care taking process for my egg, since I was assigned this type of project before while I was in high school; the only difference was that I had a partner for this experience. So to explain the process for caring for my baby was fairly simple, my partner, Lily, had a schedule that was the opposite of mine and we would switch off caring for the baby evenly. She had the baby one day and I would have him the next. Having to switch off between days primarily reminded me of how actual couples would have to raise children due to custody cases, in which some are not as lenient as switching off between parents like it was for this project. So the challenging part of this activity
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.
Problem: How can I construct a design to keep an egg safe from a 5 meter fall?
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
In my STEM class we all did the egg drop challenge. We had to drop it from the second to top step of the gym bleachers. We had to make sure it didn’t break. We had to make it were you could see all six sides of the egg.
When I went to Evergreen Park, I saw a lot of children with their parents. I went to ask them about what happened. They said this is Easter egg hunt which they define as a game for children and children have to find eggs. An eggs have different colors that was beautiful. This day for Christin people and they celebrated in spring season. In addition, this day was on Saturday (8 April, 2017) and they stared this game at 12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.
The eggs were each individually placed in one of the beakers and were taken out and weighed every 15 minutes for 60 minutes. Weighing the eggs helped to test the process of osmosis by finding out the mass before and after soaking in water, this will dictate whether water has moved in or out of the egg.
Design a car that contains an energy absorbing crumple zone, car seat for the egg, a restraint system, rollover protection, and safety systems incorporated in the vehicle. This vehicle must be able to safely carry an egg down a steep ramp in all 4 levels.
