Egg Drop Competition Day

Egg after the drop

I think that the parachute restriction was most limiting because our container dropped too fast and hit the ground too hard. I feel that if we had a parachute attached to the container I feel our egg would not have broken. The most effective part of our container would have to be the bubblewrap. I think this was the most effective because we used a lot of it and it cushioned the egg very well. I think the least effective part was the milk carton. I think this because it was hard and it didn't cushion the egg very well when it made impact with the ground. If we had to add a second egg to our container we would have to carefully wrap each egg in tissue paper and then divide them with bubblewrap. I feel this idea would safely support two eggs.
