Science best drop

1.) Recently in Science class We were told (with a partner) to construct a 'safe' place where an egg can drop into it safely.  We were given the objects: a cup, 4 rubber bands, tape, 2 pieces of paper, and popsicle sticks.  To get our partners, we drew from popsicle sticks.  Luckily, I picked my Best friend Maddie... Our best drop so far was from 2.5 meters.  Although our egg cracked, we were very happy with the success.  Since the egg was not ' bleeding' we got to keep the drop.  As it landed in the cup it acted as a trampoline and it flew back out. Our grade right now is an A- but we will hopefully make it to an A.

2.) I think our effort was about an 8.5.  We have tried many different styles until one finally worked.  We worked on making our cup better even when the egg did not break in it.  We were very determined to get an A- so I think it configured into our effort quite a bit.

3.) Our most successful egg catcher was when we dropped it at 2.5 meters.  Although it bounced out it did not break the egg.  We also threw it hard at the cup, which made it bounce harder in the cup.  It was the highest point we dropped at, and so therefore it was the best egg catcher designs we have had.
