How do you drop an egg from the gym roof with out it breaking? Katie Johnston
WHY The Egg is in the middle for maximum protection Also when the device hits the ground and bounces from the amount of energy and momentum The egg is protected
Why • 5 layers of paper • Amount of paper given • Wanted to make padding • Wanted strongest stuff on the outside so it wouldn’t rip against concrete or anything • Thought of peanuts when packing • Taped to keep in place • Absorb shock
why 2 layers of Aluminum Protection against initial impact Made of metal Almost anything strong is made of metal
Why Rubber Bands-4 About 45° angles Keeps whole structure together
Fishing Line I did this because I needed a way for the device to reach the roof. I made a loop so that the hook can grab on to my loop. I chose to use fishing line because it was light and it would not bounce on the hook like rubber bands Why
how When the Device is dropping the velocity accelerates because of gravity. Now when the device reaches impact with the concrete the momentum of the object is stopped. The paper and Aluminum is going absorb the shock. Therefore having a prefect egg! Gym
Thank you to… • My mom and dad for brain storming and prototyping • Ms. Hanson for letting me use her room for some construction • Mr. Rice for the materials Any questions?
