Answer:
this one is for your egg drop question
first question -
Use this worksheet to design your device and record your data. You can then use this form to help you write your lab report.

Q2:
Ideas for Prototype Design
Teepee, large cube , small cube
__________________________________________________________
Q3:
Preliminary Sketches (attach separate paper if needed)
Option A: teepee
__________________________________________________________
Q4:
Advantages: Disadvantages:
● fully covered ● egg might crack
● could stand higher distances ●egg will most likely bounce around around but not crack but most likely to crack
__________________________________________________________
Q5:
Option B: large cube
Option C: smaller cube
__________________________________________________________
Q6:
more advantages and disadvantages
Advantages: Disadvantages:
● egg will be tightly secured so nothing bounces around
● egg might crack depending on the impact to the floor

Q7:
Which of the three designs will you move forward with? Explain your reasoning for selecting this design.
I think i'm going to be moving forward with the teepee design

Q8:
Building the Prototype
What modifications, if any, did you make to the basic design during the construction process?
I made it a little smaller than the original design
__________________________________________________________
Q9:
Predictions
Will your device cushion the egg? How will your device do this?
I think it will cushion the design if i put the plastic bag in with the egg it should prevent it from moving around to much
__________________________________________________________
Q10:
Will your device increase the time it takes for the egg to impact the ground? How will your device do this?
I think the extra weight added to the design might affect it by speeding up the process down to the floor

Q11:
Observations
Record your observations and the results of the experimental tests of your device below.
First i tried the egg without the plastic bag and it cracked so i made the design smaller and added the plastic bag this time
__________________________________________________________
Q12:
Evaluating Your Prototype
What worked well? I would say definitely the plastic bag keeping the egg in place
__________________________________________________________
Q13:
Which features can be improved upon? The structure itself as in where the string and tape were
__________________________________________________________
Q14:
Suggestions
How could the design of this device be improved? More balance i guess because the egg would move alot without the bag
__________________________________________________________
Q15:
Why would this change be an improvement? What force or momentum principle is this improvement based on? If the egg had more balance then it would have a less chance of cracking i think this is a type of impulse toward the ground bc of the egg’s weight

Q16:
Sketch of Final Design
Draw a well-labeled sketch of the final design.
( i provided it :) )
okie peace!
