Egg Drop Test Day

We tested our egg drop container the other day to see if it would work or if it would fail. We decided to start dropping the container from about 3 meters and it survived. The next drop was from 4 meters and the egg decided to break. We went back to the classroom and discovered that we needed more padding on the outside of the container, not on the inside. We put bubblewrap on the outside of the container and added just a bit more padding on the inside and went and tested our container out again. We started off at 3 meters and survived so we went straight to 5 meters. At 5 meters it hit the floor and bounced a couple times and to our surprise the egg survived. We dropped it a couple more times and it survived each drop. Our container is 57.2 grams.
