Can you make an eggcraft that will protect an egg from breaking when dropped?
USE WHAT YOU’VE LEARNED ABOUT NEWTON’S LAW OF MOTION. HOW CAN YOU SLOW THE FALL OF EGG? HOW CAN YOU DECREASE THE FORCE THAT IS DIRECTLY APPLIED TO THE EGG ON IMPACT? RULES: • Mrs. Sanderson will provide 1 large egg. • The egg will be dropped from a high point in Mrs. Sanderson’s Room or the Science Lab. • Acceptable Materials: paper products, all food products, elmers glue, wood products, plant products, scotch tape, string, etc. No parachutes, electronic devices or glass may be used. If you have any questions about a product please contact Mrs. Sanderson. • Your main goal is to make the Eggcraft as light as possible and still protect the egg. • The eggcraft must be no larger than 20 inches in any direction. • The egg itself cannot be changed in any way. It must be an ordinary egg. Students will place the egg in the Eggcraft upon arrival to science class. • Practice dropping your eggcraft at home. • Create a safe eggcraft. GRADING: The Eggcellent Eggcraft activity will count as 2 grade
