Students successfully completed their first drop at 1 meter. Using their observations and data from the first test, students made modifications and improvements to their egg drop device. They were also given $4 to their budget to buy additional materials if they needed. it. After making adjustments to improve their drag time, students complete a drop from 2 meters. Students then compared their times from 1 meter and 2 meters.
Teams that succesfully protected their egg from breaking at 2 meters AND improved their time were then invited to have their Egg Drop device dropped by the Hoover Fire Department. We had 10 teams to participate. 4 teams survived the first drop of 35 ft. 3 teams survived a drop from 70 ft. and one team survived a drop from 100 ft!!!
We are very proud of ALL our engineers!
