Egg Drop Project

Improved Essays
Egg Drop The egg drop project was a way to see nature’s effect on itself for example, how an egg can survive a fall? It combine a majority aspect of physics, Velocity (both initial and final), Acceleration, Displacement, and Time to find how fast the egg within the vessel will go when drop from the top of a rail in the back of the school. Initial Velocity will determine the speed the egg left its initial position, the final velocity will determine the speed of the egg before crashing, Time (in Second) will tell how long the egg was in the air, Acceleration will tell how fast it went, and Displacement will tell us how far it went. The project consist of an egg, vessel, and using all of the formula given to find how everything happen …show more content…
The vessel that transporting was barely scratch, the project was a success, the vessel held the egg inside and with all the sponge to absorb all the shock from the fall, and a box on the outside to prevent the momentum from crushing the egg inside the sponge, which left the egg intact. The design of the vehicle could have been improved to reduce weight, and increase the security of the egg inside the sponge. A majority of the natural force that would have affected the egg was expected, things such as, momentum, gravity, air, and the ground were the egg was going to fall on. The egg was dropped from the top of rail which was five meter high. Before starting the project, it required all aspect of physics which are Initial Velocity, Final Velocity, Displacement, Acceleration, and Time, all of these are part of the project as whole. It helps us find speed, and distance, the Acceleration and gravity is the same because it was dropped and not thrown which means that the speed it will fall will be 9.81 m/s. By combining all of the data, the egg speed was found, it was 9.81 m/s identical to gravity, also, the vessel’s mass, and the density of the object was very light and was able to protect the egg and leave it without a

    Scientists have recently discovered Dreadnought, a very large plant-eating dinosaur. Dreadnought is the world’s largest dinosaur measuring 85 feet wide and weighing in at 65 tons (130,000) pounds, It was 7x more massive than the Tyrannosaurus rex (T-rex). It was named after the first steel battleships. When discovered in Argentina the Dreadnought’s skeleton had 70% of its bones, making it one of the most complete dinosaur fossils to be found. Sadly the skull wasn’t preserved.…

    Physics Egg Drop Project

    The egg drop project we did involved many physics principles. One of them was air resistance, which happened because the egg dropped and it accelerated, while the velocity increased. Then the resistance of the air to the egg box motion also increased, which means the upward force of air resistance balances the downward force of gravity, so the egg box dropped at a constant speed. We attached balloons to the box we made in order for the box to pass through the air while softly landing. We believe that by attaching the balloons it would have less air resistance so the box will fall quickly.…

    EGG LAB ANALYSIS Bouncy egg trick: You turn an egg into a bouncy ball by leaving the egg in vinegar. on the first day we place the egg into vinegar which helps break down the eggshell. Vinegar is a acid which dissolves the eggshell, which is made of calcium carbonate, turning the shell to carbon dioxide. Vocab/ Relation Osmosis: diffusion of water Diffusion: molecules to spread out in order to occupy an available space, without using energy.…

    Once the egg was decalcified, it felt very fragile and bouncy. When the egg didn’t have a shell anymore, it was kept from seeping out by the “plasma membrane” (egg white), which was congealed by the soaking in vinegar. When the nucleus of the egg became visible, it looked very cloudy. The substance that entered/left the egg in each situation was water, due to the state of the egg, by way of osmosis, in a way of trying to balance the inside and outside the “cell” (egg), this balance is essential to functioning at the preferred isotonic state. This lab could be improved by using 2 different eggs, as the data seemed inaccurate when placing a hypotonic egg into a solution of corn syrup made the egg hypertonic, because there wasn’t a proper start weight in the egg when placed in the second solution.…

    Do you want to know what makes super cars go fast? Tune in to this science project to find out. In this science project, you will see aerodynamics, drag, and wind speed do its process on cars. In my experiment,on each car, there are streamers on them. When my wind tunnel turns on, streamers that fly everywhere will represent drag, and streamers that stick to the car will represent aerodynamics.…

    The purpose of trying to figure out what was inside the black bottle was to understand the basic elements of the scientific inquiry process. We hypothesized that there was a push pin and string inside the unknown bottle—this was based on observations. In order to determine whether our hypothesis was correct or not, we massed out the unknown bottle, an empty bottle, and items that could potentially be inside the bottle. We also put items inside the empty bottle and compared the sound to the unknown bottle. The results showed that there were differences in sound between the unknown bottle and the empty bottle that had different items inside.…

    Egg Drop Project For my egg drop project, at first I planned to do a triangle shape around the egg with straws and tape the straws together. Then I changed my project to a square like shaped with enough flexibility to squeeze the egg into it. I used straws because it would “soften” the fall. I also used a parachute to make it a smoother fall.…

    It was hypothesized that if we place an egg in a low sucrose solution, then it will enlarge or swell, making it a hypotonic solution. The results of this experiment prove this hypothesis was correct. According to the results, as time increased, the weight of the egg also increased. This can be concluded because the low sucrose solution caused the egg to intact the liquid causing it to expand.…

    Disciplinary literacy is the merging of content knowledge, skills, reading, writing and critical thinking in a way that is relevant to the content area. According to Buehl (2011),"Each field has its own ways of using text to create and communicate meaning” (p 24). It is important to note that when practicing disciplinary literacy, teachers remain anchored in the disciplines. Does this mean that content-specific teachers should become reading and writing teachers? No, it simply means that they should stress the reading and writing that is specific to their subjects.…

    Science is a way that man tries to understand better the natural and social world. Scientic literacy is important to each individual because it makes them understand the works of science on a deeper understanding. Science literacy according to “Science Matters” written by Robert M. Hazen means, “The knowledge you need to understand public issues.” In everyday experiences we have questions on how something works and scientific literacy makes us ask, find, and determine answers to what we don’t know. Science literacy to me means understanding science in a deeper meaning.…

    When we came back the second day we saw the egg looked like it enlarged, the shell looked like it was cracking, and felt bouncy. The egg weighed more than before, it weighed 80.23 grams. Our data supported the hypothesis because the shell wasn’t as hard as the day before. These days’ data was a hypotonic solution because there was no met movement of water, therefore the egg enlarged. On day two we recorded the data, then we poured the vinegar out of the cup and added distilled water in, to leave overnight.…

    Charles Darwin was an English naturalist who was famous for his theory of evolution and natural selection. He states that evolution is when populations grow and adapt to their environment over time. Our lab is heavily based on the ideas of natural selection. Natural selection is when nature breeds the species of plants or animals a certain way, to help survive the harsh conditions of their surroundings (Pearson 2010). It relates to the term, “survival of the fittest”, or when the species grow and adapt to their surroundings, in order to survive better (Pearson 2010).…
