IN THE NAME OF ALLAH MOST MERCIFULAND MOST GRACIOUS
SAMPLE :(how the forners request for the egg drop to the students )
Mrs. Cooke's SGHS Science ClassesEgg Drop Competition
 
The Problem: Your mission is to design and construct a package that willprotect its payload (a raw egg). The structure and packagingmust protect the egg from breaking when dropped from the topof the school (approximately 25 feet). Objective:The objective of the Egg-Drop Competition is to design andbuild a device or package that will safely deliver a raw mediumegg from a free height of approximately 25 feet. This objectivewill be reached by applying the laws of motion. Construction:
 
1. The device must be of original design2. It can be constructed of any material that you feel isappropriate, except NO STYROFOAM or other foams may beused.3. Upon the initial release of the device, it must be able to fitwithin a 25 cm x 25 cm x 25 cm cube. Once the device isreleased, it may take any shape or size.4. There will be no physical contact between the device andthe designer once the device has been released5. The egg must be put into the design on the day of competition. The design must allow for easy opening andinspection of the egg6. Repairs requiring additional materials will not be allowedonce the competition has begun7. “Free Fall” indicates the use of gravitational accelerationforces only, therefore no propulsion devices or air drag devices(no parachutes, propellers or wings).8. No glass containers9. You will clean up you own mess if necessary. Scoring: This project is worth 120 pointsThe scoring will be assigned as follows:1. 20 points for creativity(I will judge). A soda bottle filled withpaper isn’t creative and won’t protect an egg.
 
2. 20 points for being on time. 25% off for all late work with 0points for the competition since the egg container will not bedropped.3. 20 points for meeting size requirements. 2 points deductedfor every 1 cm over in any direction.4. Up to 20 points for the competition.5. 40 points for a scientific write-up on this project (guidelinesbelow). Rules for competition:Scoring:The competition will be scored using a simple mathematicalequation:SCORE = Mass of device without egg x (time of fall)2The less massive the device and the faster it falls, the better your score will be.Low score wins. First – fourth place = 20 pointsFifth – eighth place = 19 pointsNinth – 14 = 18 points15 – 19 = 17 points20 – 24 place = 16 points
