Egg Drop day

Yesterday was Egg Drop Day! Unfortunately my egg container was the only one that failed to protect the egg.





1. Container Mass: 104.7g


Dimensions: 14cm X 9cm X 5.5cm


Time of Fall: 0.91 Seconds


Distance of Fall:


Condition of Egg: Broken... :(


Earned Egg Points: a solid 0 points.


2. (currently no picture)


3. The restriction that affected me the most was probably in the inability to use a parachute. If we were allowed to use one it would've made all the difference in the world. It would have slowed the speed that the container was falling and greatly reduced the force of the impact, possibly, saving the egg.


4. The most effective part of its design was the styrofoam on the bottom half. It was shaped to the egg and protected it extremely well on all angles except for the top. The least effective part of the containers design was the cotton balls and pillow stuffing on the top half. The combination of stuff didn't provide enough cushion for the egg and when it fell it fell on this causing it to break.



5. To fit two eggs in the container it would have had to been made bigger obvisouly. Also the styrofoam would have to be fitted to contain a second egg.

Egg Test

Today was the test day for our egg drop challenge. We used a small box filled with cotton balls. I practiced it at home and it was working at small heights but then it broke at about a meter high. To alter the design, my team member Adelyn and I added a Styrofoam base and more padding on top. This design hasn't failed yet and consistently protects the egg. I feel confident about the challenge !

Day 2

Today in class we all added clustrmaps to our blog. The maps are used to show us where in the world people are viewing our blogs. This taught us how to take HTML code and use it to our advantage and they are also intended to open our eyes to how easily accessible our information is. Also, we changed settings to add safety features to our blogs.

40s Physics

Today we added gadgets and experimented with more backgrounds to our page. We also started to follow one another on blogger. Now we are summarizing what we did today, and everyone loved my URL because it's awesome.
