Question

I need to design something to protect an egg from breaking when its dropped from the roof any ideas?

Answer 1

put foam around it and on the drop area

Answer 2

Have a large enough box with holes in it. Center the egg in the middle of the box using rubber bands. The rubber bands don't have to be in whole you can cut them, wrap around the egg and reseal using the heat from a match. After the is done I would dampen the assembly by loosely packing the box with bubble wrap but not too much the rubber bands should do all the work.

The rubber bands should not be a loose connection between the egg and the box. You might break a few trying to master this assembly.

Good luck.

Answer 3

i did a project like this in the fourth grade; my group put our egg in a shoebox with tons of cotton tissues(kleenex) and cotton balls and packing peanuts we dropped it and our egg didnt break so we got extra credit. Hope  this helped! Good Luck! :)
