Materials List above^
Plan:
Owen brings ductape tinfoil ministicks small pole
Max brings staws rubberbands and cotton
Ryan brings cups


Braintstorm Picture #1 and #3
#1 is a peanut butter jar
#3 is our current plan for saving egg



Brainstorm Picture #2
uses a parachute aspect



Mr. Farrar signed the page because he helped us with Force and Mass equations and it talked us through finding a certain problem which was "when does the force required to break the egg equal the force generated from a certain height" we never finished that equation but he was great help.

 arithmetic used to find the mass of the egg by finding the average of serveral different eggs. (source: google)


renaming an achievement - "Speed Demon" Your solution takes less than 1/2 second to hit the target
creating an achievement - "Lightweight" - Lightest design out of all groups
redesigning the aspects of then egg drop challenge - Have all the teams design their prototypes on CAD


create a promotional material for project


This is what our total design weighed in at (10.21 grams).
