So I'm doing an egg drop project for physics, which has many restrictions. First off, it will be dropped downward 8.4m, and there will be a target directly below (the closer you are to the target, the more points, and vice versa). The project must be 250 grams total (egg + whatever used). Also, the teacher stated that the egg is already 60-70 grams, so there is not much to work with. Biodegradable materials are the only materials allowed (no plastic, metal, Styrofoam peanuts, bubble wrap, sponges, other synthetic materials, popcorn). Rubber balloons would also be okay, along with parachutes. So the question is, how should I build it in the way that it drops as close to the target as possible, while still maintaining the maximum weight of 250g? What materials should I use and how should I build it? Thanks
