Egg Drop Project

Following a set of rules, you will create a contraption that is durable enough to hold an egg dropped from a certain height. You must be creative and innovative in building this egg-contraption as it must weigh a certain amount, be a certain height and use certain materials and still do it's job of keeping the egg from breaking.

Here are some the rules for your egg drop project:

• The egg and its contraption must hit the ground.
• No balloons or parachutes are allowed.
• The egg and the project must weigh less than 200 grams. ( the average egg weighs 50 grams)
• Only raw, store bought chicken eggs; size medium or larger may be used. You may NOT soak the egg in vinegar.
• Your egg project must fit on a regular size sheet of paper. (note that it may be 3 ft high and still fit on the paper)
• Your egg project must have an opening the size of my pinky finger where i can see a portion of the egg.
• You may not use nerf balls, pillows, or stuffed animals to protect your egg.
• Once a project has hit the ground it will your responsibility to retrieve your egg and show it to the score keeper for scoring.
