Egg Drop Student Worksheet Use this worksheet to design your device and record your data. You can then use this form to help you write your lab report. Height of egg drop: ____5 ft.______. Ideas for Prototype Design: Protect the egg with all the material provided to prevent any cracking. Preliminary Sketches (attach separate paper if needed) Option A: Advantages: Protection of egg Disadvantages: Egg will probably crack from the material used Which of the three designs will you move forward with? Explain your reasoning for selecting this design. Moving forward I decided to just utilize materials for only one device and the egg still cracked. Building the Prototype What modifications, if any, did you make to the basic design during the construction process?
I made very few modifications where I was able to protect the egg from fully breaking where it just slightly cracked instead. Predictions Will your device prevent the egg from cracking upon impact with the ground? How will your device do this? My device did not prevent the egg from cracking. Will your device increase the time it takes for the egg to impact the ground? How will your device do this? There was no increase to the eggs impact to the ground, this only took about 3 seconds. Observations Record your observations and the results of the experimental tests of your device below. From my observations the egg and the height of the drop made it have a disadvantage where the egg cracked. Evaluating Your Prototype What worked well? Wrapping the egg with he materials worked very well. Which features can be improved upon? The feature that could have worked better for the egg was maybe creating a float with the bag creating the illusion of a parachute. Suggestions How could the design of this device be improved? The design could be improved by creating different scenarios drop locations. Why would this change be an improvement? What impulse or momentum principle is this improvement based on? The change is based on the attempts to achieve for the egg not to crack. Sketch of Final Design Draw a well-labeled sketch of the final design.
