Egg Drop
In this science activity, children will experiment with different ideas for keeping an egg from breaking when dropped out of a window.
Egg Drop
Materials
- Raw egg (and a few extra)
- Packing materials
- String or tape
The object of this activity is to wrap up an egg so that it won't break when dropped from a height. The recommended height is 12-15 feet. Design a container which will protect the egg from breaking. It should be lightweight and sturdy. Most of all, it should withstand sudden impact with the ground.
Note: The Egg Drop is one of the events in the Science Olympics in which many schools participate. This could be your entry.
