This past week we finished off the week with an egg drop lab. This brought together the whole unit on momentums. The purpose of the egg drop lab was to build a capsule that would be able to keep an egg inside it alive from a 30+ foot fall. The capsule could be no bigger than 35cm x 35cm x 35cm and all supplies must be from your own home. I used a simple setup. A bottom heavy leveled out portion, a collapse zone, and a platform with half a 20 oz. water bottle which held the egg inside. The bottom of the capsule was meant to absorb the majority of the shock from the impact. To keep it level I put in a can half filled with water sideways so the capsule didn't fall the wrong way. The collapse zone was just 4 drinking straws placed in the four corners of the bottom box with about 3 cm exposed. On top that was the platform that held the egg capsule. The egg capsule was half a 20 oz. bottle, a cardboard bottom, with cotton and some old shirt for cushion. The drop was a success surprisingly because it landed at an angle. I guess most of the shock was absorbed through the bottom anyway.
