Why Did An Egg Drop Experiment

The Mythbusters observed the myth that driving whilst talking on the phone is as dangerous as driving drunk. They formed their hypothesis that driving on the phone is as dangerous as driving drunk. Then, they tested their hypothesis. They created an experiment that would have participants drive a car through a course three times. Each time a participant went through the course, they experience different conditions. The first time, both participants drove through the course normally. This served as the control group for the experiment. The second time, participants were asked questions over the phone while they completed the course, and, the third time, they were drunk when they drove through the course. Throughout the experiment, there were several independent variables in place to ensure that only one variable was being tested.

The solutions are 0% sucrose, 10% sucrose, 20% sucrose, 30% sucrose, 40% sucrose and an unknown sucrose concentration. We then weighed each egg separately to the nearest gram in order to have an initial starting weight to compare to the results throughout our experiment being conducted. The eggs were then placed in each beaker for 12 intervals at a time. After every 12 minutes the eggs were taken out and weighed to see if the weight of the egg changed. With a total of five intervals (12, 24, 36, 48, 60) the steps were repeated till the egg had reached the total time of 60 minutes. The changes in weight of the eggs were then added into a data table showing the weight of the chicken eggs in grams vs. the time in minutes. In a second data table the weight changes (g) vs. time (min.) between the eggs were taken and used the difference from each time and subtracted it from the initial

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 primary purpose of the lab was to test and observe the effects of the process of osmosis on decalcified eggs. Before the process, the initial weights of the eggs were taken and noted. Two eggs were then immersed in a deionized water solution. The same was repeated to the other two solutions of 20% and 40% sucrose. The weights of the eggs were measured after 15 minutes to note the change in mass due to osmosis and again after 60 minutes to take the final measurement. Overall, while some human error might arise in the weighing process, care was taken in handling the eggs and during the weighing process. As such, it was found that the eggs behaved as predicted. It was found that the eggs placed in the hypertonic solution lost

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.

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.

The lid was then placed on the jar and an observation was made and recorded. Observations of the egg were then made after 12 hours and 24 hours had passed and the observations were recorded. After 24 hours had passed, the egg was removed from the syrup and rinsed with tap water and observations were made and recorded.

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

My egg drop container is based off of a rough interpretation of the Apollo 17. My container demonstrates all the required topics of motion, energy and force. My egg drop container involves thermal, sound and mechanical energy. The container has mechanical energy, because it has both kinetic and potential energy. Prior to dropping the egg, the experiment has potential energy and as it’s drops, it has kinetic energy.

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

What were my four favorite experiments in the Fox 4 weather show? I was interested in the bubbles, the cloud, the egg walk, and the liquid nitrogen rockets. The bubble experiment showed us how wind currents move. They made bubbles with two big strings and the bubbles were huge until they pooped because of hitting the net. My second favorite thing was when they made a cloud. They made this cloud out of hydrogen peroxide, dawn soap, and sodium iodine. The dawn soap and the hydrogen peroxide went in first, then the sodium iodine that’s what makes it foam up. All of these substances react together to form a “cloud”! This experiment showed us how clouds and storms for in our atmosphere. The third experiment i liked was the walking on eggs this

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.

It just capitalizes my mind on how something like a cell could impact me personally and how these facts were obtained and needed in order to survive it’s just incredible. Also it gives us a better understanding on how cells of different living things react to outside substances which was observed firsthand. You're probably wondering what happened in this experiment and I’m going to tell you that in this experiment you will see how solutions can affect a cell of a living thing. Which was witnessed by going through this experiment that was conducted by using a shell-less egg and covering it with solutions to see what will happen to the egg. For instance, water was poured over the egg and to let it sit there in the water for 30 minutes and to take the egg out to record the mass. Also the same was done with the syrup as well, but the egg had to sit in the syrup for 24 hours. So during this process, the shape of the egg started to change which was caused from the processes called diffusion and osmosis that was going on during this whole

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.

4.14. The accuracy of the data is dependent on the correct controls being in place, Ensuring temperate stays the same throughout all solutions, making sure that the solutions are correct that the weight and size of the eggs are the measured correctly and that when the eggs are removed they are removed at the same time. Some of the eggs were not completely submerged in the solution this may cause some errors in the experiment and may have caused varying results. The eggs were of different sizes this also will cause the results to vary, Gathering eggs of exact size and weight would have ensured the results were correct. The eggs may not have been dried enough also causing results to vary; this can be fixed by ensuring that the eggs are thoroughly dried. The eggs were taken out at a time around about 24 hours, having an exact time to remove the eggs would have eliminated errors.
