Project

A project I spent a great deal of time and effort on was an egg project in the sixth grade. The project was to make some type of case for an egg so it was able to be dropped ten foot above ground without breaking. The most difficult aspect of this project was finding something that would protect the egg when it hit the ground. I tried many different things such as cutting a hole in a Twinkie and putting the egg inside and then tying a tissue on it with string as if it were a parachute. That idea did not work out. I do not remember what other things I tried but it took me days to come up with something that actually protected the egg during the fall. I put memory foam, tissues, and cotton balls in a plastic container along with the egg and tested it. It finally worked. The result did make the time and effort worth it. I got a good grade on the project and mine was one of the very few that worked.
