Three ideas: 2 fuzzy socks and a cardboard box, old yogurt container, bubble wrap Fuzzy socks & cardboard box advantages: The two fuzzy socks will protect the egg from breaking Fuzzy socks & cardboard box disadvantages: The cardboard box may be flimsy and not work well enough to protect the egg Old yogurt container advantages: It would be the perfect size for the egg to fit into or even a tight squeeze so it should protect the egg well. Old yogurt container disadvantages: It may not be enough weight to protect the egg from a high fall. Bubble wrap advantages: Could be most safe if it is wrapped around the plastic bag Bubble wrap disadvantages: Might not be enough and cause the egg to break Predictions: Will your device prevent the egg from cracking upon impact with the ground? If so, how will it do this? Yes, because the egg will be inside the cardboard box and have two fuzzy socks on the sides to protect the egg, I believe that the egg will not break. Will your device increase the time it takes for the egg to impact the ground? If so, how will it do this? It could depending on the size of the box and how heavy it is. The box with fuzzy socks did work well. One thing I would change about this is to add more fuzzy socks, so the egg is even more protected or use a smaller box. The 2 fuzzy socks protect it from a hard hit. The cardboard box protects it from flying out. Gravity plays a big role in the egg drop project. Gravity pulls the egg down when it wants to stay at rest. Air resistance is the box hitting the air molecules causing it to slow down.
