Egg Drop Testing Day

Yesterday our class was able to test our containers to see how well they could keep the egg inside from cracking.
First our group started at one meter. We measured out where one meter was and dropped the container with the egg in it. The egg didn't break so we put everything back together and moved up to two meters.
At Two meters we dropped the container with the egg in it and the egg still didn't break. We then put the egg back into the container and moved up to three meters. At three meters we dropped the container and it ended up rolling down some stairs. We thought that the egg would be broken for sure but when we checked it the egg was still not broken. At four meters we dropped the container and this time the egg did break. We did some adjustments to our container by adding more tissue to the bottom of the container. We then dropped the container again from four meters and the egg didn't break. At five meters we dropped the container and our egg got a very small crack but didn't break open completely. So far I think that our container has been successful at the three or four meter range.

This is Jasa and I putting the container together.

 This is one of our videos of the container being dropped and it rolling down the stairs.
