Egg Drop Challenge

Egg Drop Challenge
Motivation:Egg drop devices simulate parachutes and other similar features seen in nature, such as the helicopter seeds that are dropped from some trees. The process of slowing descent to resist the force of gravity has been used in a number of instances in history, and continues to be an important science – especially currently around emergency aid and transportation of goods to inaccessible areas.

Supplies:

String (5 feet)
Paperclips (3)
Straws (3)
Paper (3 sheets)
Balloons (1)
Popsicle Sticks (10)
Tape
Eggs (1)
2 ziploc bags
3 rubber bands

Directions:

Cover the ground below your drop-site with brown paper bags so you don’t get egg all over the floor!
Given the materials listed above, come up with the best contraption you can to drop an egg from 1-2 stories off the ground
If you’re successful, try it from higher up!
