Egg Drop Lander

Objective

Students will create a package to contain and

successfully land a raw egg, unbroken from a fall to the ground. They will learn how velocity and acceleration from falling objects relate to a force on landing.

Target concept: Acceleration

Preparation time: 1 hour

Activity time: 1 hour

Student group size: Teams of three

(3 to 12 per adult)

Materials

Raw egg

Parachute material ( plastic trash or

shopping bags)

Packing material (gelatin, popcorn,

foam, bubble wrap, etc.)

Masking tape

Yardstick or meter stick

Stopwatch

Procedure

Each team of three students will build its 1.

own lander capsule. You may wish to build more than one for experimentation. Select someone to be a timekeeper, distance measurer and data recorder.

Choose the parachute and packaging 2.

material you will use around the egg.

Design and build your lander. Attach the

parachute.

The landing site will be a

Record the distance and time it takes for 5.

the egg lander to reach the ground.

Examine and record the lander. A drop is

Data and Results

List the packaging material used. Which

Additional Approach

From what you learned in packaging and pro-

tecting the egg in this lander drop test, design a capsule from a model rocket nose cone that can contain the egg. Test drop that capsule to prove the egg in it can land safely. There are also commercial rocket kits that can carry eggs. Get one of those as a design com- parison and ?y it, then have students build their own version of an egg-carrying rocket with their capsule. Launch the egg in the rocket and see how well the parachute brings it down.quotesdbs_dbs14.pdfusesText_20
