Unfortunately this isn't what my group did for the egg drop. but what we did worked non the less. But i bet i am confusing you. last week we did an egg drop activity in class. We were given one egg and were told to make it survive the fall from the 2ns story of our school. We could use what we wanted but in order to get points we had to earn "achievements". The more we earn the more points we will earn

Here are the achievements my group earned.

For our group we chose to just drop the egg on a pillow. It was the most simple of the egg drops, and it also worked just fine. Our egg never broke, the hard part was hitting the pillow. But practice with an egg substitute the day before helped us be able to hit te target each times (we dropped it a total of 3 times).
