Presentation transcript:

Building a Newtonian Contraption  Design a structure that will protect a raw egg from breaking when dropped from a distance of 25 feet. (convert to meters)  Remember your design must withstand: force, speed, acceleration, and the momentum of falling from 25 feet.

Egg Drop Instructions  1.Each group will have one raw egg, 30 straws and 30cm of masking tape.  2.You must use all materials given BUT ONLY the given materials.  3. You will only get one chance to drop your egg in its “ Newtonian Contraption”

Egg Drop Lab Pre Lab  Research the following questions and answer.  1. What variables are required to calculate speed, acceleration, force, and momentum?  2. Will your egg reach terminal velocity? Why or Why Not? Make sure that you explain your answer.  3. How will friction effect the drop?  4. What type of surface would be best for the drop? Why?  5. What type of design will be required to protect the egg from breaking? Why?

Data Table  Create a data table to collect required information about the egg and contraption.  Possible factors to include on data table: Distance, time, direction, state, etc.  Remember to include quantitative and qualitative data.

Post Lab Questions 1. Calculate the following for your egg drop: Speed, Acceleration rate, Force, and Momentum. Show your equations! 2. Did your egg break? Why or Why Not? Answer either question 3 or 4 depending on your outcome. 3. What factors would you change to keep your egg from breaking? 4. What factors kept your egg from breaking? 5. Draw, label, and explain your design.
