Hey I need help with doing a physics project. I have to drop an egg from two stories high and it can not break. Does any one have any suggestions or ideas that may help.
Thank You

You and a bazillion others want the answer.
My suggestion is read what others have tried and failed then don't do that one.
The criteria for the project is up to the instructor.

A firm foam around the egg - with a softer foam outside of that - and still softer further outside - will give you the best result. Make sure the inner foam that is in contact with the egg is shaped well like the egg - not putting extra force on any one part of the egg.
