    The document provides instructions for planning a scientific experiment to determine whether cotton balls or towels are better for protecting eggs from breaking when dropped. The experiment would involve dropping eggs from 60cm above cotton balls or towels in a box to see which material prevents breakage. The independent variable is the material used (cotton balls or towels), the dependent variable is how well the eggs are saved from breaking, and data would be collected on egg breakage with each material to draw a conclusion on which works better.
