bubblewrap is really good to use along with tissue paper since they are light.

I haven't done this project but the Mythbusters did a similar project with Eggs. They had to make a contraption that would allow you to drop an egg from a roof without having it break.
My suggestion is to find some way to suspend the chip within the box. That way it can't bump into any sides.
Good luck!

go steal your teachers kleenex box and use that. And use the kleenex for packing.
Or, use the cardboard from your notebook to build a box.

If you're in class now, you should ask your teacher instead of asking us. He/she will be better able to help you.
