EGG DROP RULES AND GUIDELINES!!!

THE GREAT EGG DROP

Due - April 24, 2014

Parent Signature _____________________

Objective

            To build a container of restricted size and limited weight which will keep an egg from breaking after a fall from a height of 3 meters or greater to the ground.  All containers will be weighed in grams before the eggs are inserted.  The container will be released by an adult from the large gym ladder.  We will start at three meters and continue in two meter increments until the height of the gym ceiling is reached.  For each height  the lightest egg container that keeps it’s passenger safe will be recognized.

Design of Container

            1. Container dimensions must not exceed 21cm x 21cm x 21cm

            2.  Styrofoam, bubble wrap, foam, cotton balls,   fiberglass insulation, synthetic pillow stuffing, cardboard, parachutes and balloons may not be       used.

            3.  Containers must be able to withstand multiple dropping.  No alterations     to the container may be made after the first drop.

            4. Containers must be constructed with a hatch or a door so that the      egg can be inserted or withdrawn in less than 30 seconds.

            5. A cracked egg is defined as one, which is visibly leaking its                contents.  Hairline fractures are not considered cracks.

            6. The students will be required to remove the egg from the container each height to show the judges it did not crack.

Project Paper

Write a one-page paper describing the process of creating your container. Please make sure the following questions are answered within your paper.  

-       What materials did you use? 

-       Did you make the container alone, or who helped you?

-       About how long did it take you to create the container?

-       If you could change one thing; what would you change?  

-       What was your favorite part of this project?
