Egg Drop Challenge Help Needed

[Jase]

put the egg on a magnet

 

Put a superconductive pad at the landing zone

 

Cool the room to -200 degrees celsius

 

The egg should levitate over the pad.

 

You're welcome.

You better hope that room is a closed system.  Entropy is a bitch.

Wow, so many stipulations. My kid did it by putting the egg in a balloon, filling it with helium, and tying to a 2 foot piece of string with a 8 oz fishing weight on it. The weight fell straight down, the balloon never touched the ground.

Lol...that is not a bad idea. She is only 10 and in the fifth grade though so I am not sure I want "lawyer up" so to speak if she gets disqualified. 

 

I'm not even sure she gets graded on this. Supposedly she wins a prize if it doesn't break. With school budgets nowadays, it's probably a coupon for a free small Frosty on her next visit to a participating Wendy's restaurant. 

 

 

Make that a medium and I might be willing to convince the teacher that it would be in her best interests if your Daughter won.....

wrap it in a napkin and you should be good to go

True story about this from when I was a kid.  We did this in our G&T class in 3rd grade.  My friend and I made a stabilized system with the rubber bands, padding, parachute, the whole thing.  Threw it out, barely bounced.  As we were getting the egg out, my friend drop the half opened container, breaking the egg.  Teacher didn't see it until after he broke it, gave us a no go.  Another friend of mine totally forgot to bring his rig to school, but only had a tin of those danish cookies for some reason.  He emptied it, stuffed it with tissue paper, and threw that like a frisbee off of the roof.  Landed like a grenade, rolled forever....and when he opened it the damn egg was still intact.  He got an A, we got a C.  

 

 

First and last C.  And I still have it under protest until this day.

If you lived in NC I would actually take you up on it. Nothing wrong with teaching my 10 year old that as long as you have enough of it, money can buy anything.

No, it's better for kids to learn that on their own.
