What Material Will Best Protect a Falling Egg From Breaking?
Hypothesis
If I wrap and egg in bubble wrap, then the egg will will be best protected, because the bubble wrap will prevent the egg from touching the ground.
Variables
Independent Variable:
Type of protection on egg
Dependent Variable:
Damage to egg
Constants:
Same type/brand of egg; same height of being dropped; same temperature of egg;
Background Information:
My topic is Egg Protection. I will be dropping an egg and trying to find the correct material that will best protect an egg. At least one of these questions will be answered:
What material will best protect an egg when I drop it down our gazebo onto the ground?
How badly will an unprotected egg crack? (control egg)

I think that maybe once I find my conclusion, what will protect the egg best, the eggs you buy at the store could be packaged with whatever the concluded protector is.
The maximum height you can drop an unprotected egg from is about .68 cm. The maximum for a protected egg is 213 meters or apprx. 698.819 feet. This was accomplished by David Donoghue when he threw an egg out of a helicopter onto a golf course. This took place in the U.K., on August 22, 1994. I will not be doing such a feat, merely dropping an egg onto the ground. I will be using a few protective materials perhaps bubble wrap or felt. Now that you know a little more about my topic, I will go back through all my ideas. I will use some sort of protective material to help prevent the egg from breaking. Once I find what will best protect the egg, I hope that stores will cover/wrap eggs in the protective surface. This will help prevent the eggs from breaking in the containers.

These glass dishes hold the deshelled eggs. The egg was dried each time before weighing it so the weight would be of the egg only, and not the water. This was done four times throughout the experiment; once before it was initially weighed, again after being in the solution for fifteen minutes, again after being in the solution for thirty minutes, and again after being in the solution for forty-five minutes. After the egg was dried each time, it was put on the scale to be weighed. The egg was weighed after it was taken out of the solution. This happened at the same time intervals as the drying process (beginning, fifteen minutes, thirty minutes, forty-five minutes). After each time the egg was weighed, the weight of the egg (in grams) would be recorded on a table, so it could be tracked throughout the
Polymer creatures are very fascinating, because they can grow when put in liquids, and experiments are going to be conducted relating to this growing. A polymer is a very long chain of molecules strung together (What). Polymers are very versatile, and can have almost limitless colors and characteristics (Definition). One of these qualities is absorbency, and some can absorb as much as five hundred times their weight in water (Growing). It is hypothesized that if the polymer creatures are submerged in water for a day it will at least double in size, while it will not grow as much when put in Sprite.
My experiment was if an egg was changed by cooking or freezing it will it affect how far it would fly. So I did the tests and my hypothesis was wrong. The frozen egg did not fly the furthest, the raw egg did. The raw egg every time went about 1-2 feet more than the frozen egg did. I think this is because when I froze the egg it gained weight and the raw egg stayed the same. This was enough to make the frozen egg not go as far. In fact the frozen egg flew the least amount of distance except for on the first launch where it came in second. This Experiment change but modified to be more exact by moving it into an indoor facility. This will help with not having to deal with wind or any other weather conditions.
3) the experiment with the egg and the bottle is that the egg will not be sucked in the bottle.
There are many forces that play into an object falling down and hitting the ground. For a fragile object like an egg, making it survive a small fall is very difficult let alone four stories. It is possible to make the egg survive however, by encasing it in something. You can compare the egg to a human in a car. A car crash can be deadly however the car that is around acts like the objects you would encase an egg in. In a car crash, or in most collisions, there is a primary and a secondary impact. The primary impact in a car crash would be the car deforming and being destroyed due crashing into something. The secondary impact is the contents in the car moving, in this case, quite violently. In many cases, the secondary impact might actually be more deadly than the primary, and the same goes for an egg drop, because there are contents inside the
Before the egg was submerged, it appeared as a typical egg with an average weight and size. When placed into the vinegar, no immediate changes or effects were noticeable. Later, after 24 hours the egg had changed significantly. The colour of the egg was much more yellow, and had noticeably increased in size. Almost the entire shell dissolved into the vinegar. One part of the egg, which had not been sunken into the vinegar, still had an area of shell still attached. The texture of the egg was very rubbery.

It is best o start by marking the eggs with two different symbols, one on the top side of the egg and one on the bottom so it is easy to tell which eggs have been rotated. Then the eggs must be turned. The more the eggs are turned, the better chance they have of surviving. The eggs must be turned an odd number each day so that they do not rest on the same side overnight for two days in a row. It is very important to pay attention to the eggs before, and while in incubation. If an egg stays put for too long or is not fertile, the chickens will not hatch. It is easy to avoid the problems if one pays enough attention to the small details in a chicks early
The ability to absorb energy and displace the pressure of an object makes Kevlar so useful in protecting us from knives, bullets and infinite types of sharp objects.
Egg Albumen Experiment The purpose of this investigation is to establish which is the lowest concentration of Copper (II) Sulphate solution that will denature a sample of egg albumen (egg white) at room temperature. The base of the reaction is the globular protein (albumen) being denatured by a heavy metal (Copper (II)), the copper (II) reacts with the NH3 group causing it to denature, this means the proteins' secondary and tertiary structures are being altered and refolding into different shapes, this resulting in a change from the substance being clear to turning opaque.[1] As the concentration of the denaturants increases more folding and changing of shape will occur and therefore more denaturing will occur and at a faster rate. From this I can predict that that lowest concentration of the solution is approximately at 0.03m solution.
Secondly, my project corresponds to mainly density, and the different densities a variety of eggs may have. First, I decided to test three different types of eggs;

The objective of this lab is to determine the best design to move a seed the farthest, while staying aloft for the longest time.
This is the second volume in a series of three reports looking at the chicken egg production system. Layer hens are highly productive however to get even better production they need proper care and management so this volume focuses on health care and housing of the chickens going into detail with feed and nutrition, infrastructure requirements and design, health, and lifetime productivity and culling strategies.
This required materials that would be able to slow down our chip as it hits other objects and reduce the forces placed on it while it is being tossed around and gaining momentum. We also kept in mind that this momentum would be something that we couldn’t control, but the force and time was possible. We ended up using a sponge to protect our chip. We cut the sponge in half and then created holes in both halves that were big enough to house the chip once the sponge was taped back together. This was necessary in order to keep from crushing the chip when putting the sponge back together and also ensuring that it stays inside the sponge. The sponge worked because it provided the chip with a soft surface when it was tossed around while being mailed. The sponge was able to increase the time that it took for the sponge to collide with the things around it and thus, reduce the force of the
