How we tried to protect our Egg...


Our main goal was to create specific protection for an egg so when it falls it doesn’t break. For our protection we received 8 straws, sticky tape, and scissors. Also there was limited time to come up with a plan how to create protection. Everything went good. We divided roles what everyone will do. We calculated approximate time how much time each task will require. Supposedly our plan should have worked, however it didn’t. We had several ideas but we chose the best one: to create base that will protect falling egg. We took into consideration to cut our straws and create a cage. But since we had only 1 pair of scissors we decided not to waste time on it. Our structure supposed to work because it was protecting base on which the egg was supposed to land. But we didn’t take into consideration the structure of the egg. That there fluids that can move inside of it and change direction of falling. As a result our egg rotated and landed on a wrong side
