The goal of this project is to design a carrier that will prevent a raw egg from breaking when dropped
from various heights. Please keep in mind that your egg carrier must be able to withstand numerous
drops: Top of Bleachers in Gym; Top of Stairwell & Window

The Following Rules Apply:

1. You can’t put anything on your egg, such as tape, glue, paint, etc.
2. Your carrier must fit inside a standard shoe box.
3. You must be able to gain access to your egg without damaging your carrier.
4. In order to move continue on, your egg must survive each drop.

Procedures:

1. Think about your design: Sketch it below and list the materials you’ll need (either materials
you brought in or from the items provided by teacher)

Materials Needed/Used
2. Design your carrier, keeping in mind the rules stated above.

3. After each drop zone, you will complete an analysis & results data sheet.

GOOD LUCK! HOPE YOU HAVE AN EGGCELLENT EXPERIENCE!
