Classic Egg Drop Experiment With No Eggs!

Help me give my students alternatives for the classic egg drop experiment in physics class. They will be able to experiment with forces and motion as well as an iterative engineering task.

My Project

Every year students enjoy the egg drop challenge, but how will we do it with few or no eggs?

This experiment allows students to collaboratively explore momentum, collisions, impulse, force and time in the physics classroom.

Students design a container that can drop from a height without damaging an egg (or in this case, opening a reusable water balloon). Engineering skills are also practiced as there will be opportunities to revise their devices and try again.

With over 200 physics students a week, many students will be able to benefit from the use of this resource.
