Answer 1

We did that in 6th grade. My father helped me create a foam egg shaped holder for the egg. It was very firm foam, had an egg shape cutout in the center for the egg, and was about 7- 9 inches tall, made of 2 pieces taped together. My egg survived, and I got an A.

Answer 2

I helped my little cousin with this one.

What I did was I took a shoe box, took some duct tape and taped the inside about 1 and a half or more inches up from the very bottom. This will help keep the egg from ever hitting the bottom of the shoe box.

Then I stuffed it with lots of plastic bags. And as for the egg...
if you have a strawberry crate. You know those green ones...secure one of those in the middle of the box..well..the new "bottom" which is the tape.

Then blow air into two zilpoc sandwich bags. But do not over inflate these for they will keep the egg safe from cracking. Tape the egg in the middle of the two bags. And secure that to the inside of the green crate.

This won't fail. (even though my cousin's had a parachute)

Answer 3

OOOH OOOH! Man! I LOVED THE EGG DROP!
Okay here's how I did lo those many centuries ago.

Suspend the egg in a small encolsure from rubber bands. I did mine in about a one foot cube cardboard box. I had eight rubber bands. One in each corner, connected to a l'eggs capsule stuffed with kleenex. The egg was inside that.
Basically the box had enough surface area to slow things down some, and the spring action of the rubberbads took care of the remaining impact.

Wow.
Good luck!

Answer 4

i will tell u how to do it

first u get an egg

u go to a place that is about 36feet

then drop the egg

so the egg travells 35feet without breaking and without any external material

then the last feet dosent matter as u have succesfull dropped the egg 35feet without breaking

i dont know if ur tacher would accept this try but it is still fun to trick the teacher

with regards,
