Preparing for Game Day

          Today in Physics it was Test Day, which meant we got to test out our egg-drop contraption. We are doing a challenge project to see if each team can design a container that can be dropped 5 meters without breaking the egg inside.

          Today our group (Emma and I) got sent to the science stairs, and from there proceeded to drop our box. We started out dropping our box from 2.5 meters above the ground, then proceeded to drop the box 4.3 meters above the ground, and finally dropped it from 5 meters above the ground. (All measurements were rough estimates.) In each round, the egg survived. We dropped the egg several times from the estimate of 5 meters, and it also survived each time. This is almost ensuring that our egg will survive on Game Day.

         We feel that no changes need to be made to our box since the performance rates were so high (100%). With all this in mind, we know that anything can happen, and if anything can go wrong, it will...so here is hoping for the best of luck on Game Day!
