Egg Drop Project (DUE WED 2/10)
Objective:
Build an egg “package” that maximizes time of impact, protecting an uncooked egg when dropped from a height of 5 meters.
Suggested Materials: Straws, tape, toothpicks, glue, etc…
Design Criteria Checklist:
___1. Egg cannot be insulated by any material (hot glue, peanut butter, styrofoam around the egg). Egg must be protected only by the structure YOU have BUILT. *No parachutes.
___2. The egg must be fresh from the carton (or your chicken) and not altered chemically, frozen or boiled. It should make a mess if broken (which you get to clean up)
___3. The total mass of the egg package will not exceed 100g, (that does not include the egg).
___4. All eggs must survive a drop from a height of 5 meters (2nd floor stairwell).
___5. All glue must be dry when submitted for qualification/grading.
Video Presentation Checklist:
Include the required segments listed below for your video.
(Suggested video editing software: WeVideo - google app, Splice - iphone app)
___1. A neat, design sketch of your container including labeled materials.
___2. A photo of your finished container.
___3. The mass of your container.
___4. A video of the actual egg drop and final condition of egg.
___5. Calculate the potential energy at the top of the stairs. Show work.
___6. What is the container’s kinetic energy right before impact with the ground? Explain.
___7. Calculate the final velocity of the container right before impact with the ground. Show work.
___8. Use the final velocity to calculate the change in momentum of the egg as it hits the floor. Show work.
___9. What is the egg’s impulse as it hits the floor? Explain.
___10. Explain the importance of impulse (referencing force and time) in ensuring the egg does not break.
___11. Would your results vary if we increased the mass of your egg? Why or why not? Explain
___12. Describe two examples of real world applications of your structure.
___13. List all resources used: minimum 3; full url (“google,” “Wikipedia,” etc… are not acceptable citations)
___14. Credits: list all participants and describe each person’s contributions to the final project. (example: builder, calculations, research, supplies, filming, on-air voice, on-camera presenters, etc…) Students without credits will not be included in grade. (4 people MAX)
