My partner in crime for the egg drop experiment was Gabby Aguilar.
We chose a very simplistic version of a contraption to hold the precious egg.
It consisted of a plastic bag and a lot of crumbled up loose leaf paper, as seen here.

Achievments
1. Our materials fit inside of a shoe box, compressed of course.
2. Our materials weighed less than 200 grams (118 grams).
3. We hit inside the third ring on the construction paper.
4. OUR EGG DIDN'T BREAK
5. OUR EGG DIDN'T BREAK
6. OUR EGG DIDN'T BREAK
Great image to start your post with!
ReplyDeleteYour bag of crumpled paper really weighed 118g? I'm suprised to hear that because it sounds like a very light design. Is there a way you could be more efficient with your paper to cut weight?
