1. W HAT MATERIAL PROTECTS AN EGG THE BEST ?

2. P URPOSE The reason we are doing this project is to see what material will protect a hard boiled egg: bubble wrap, toilet paper, or Bounty paper towels. Hypothesis We think that bubble wrap will protect the egg best because companies put bubble wrap in boxes that have glass to protect it so the egg will be the glass and be protected by the bubble wrap.

3. T HE M ATERIALS 1.9 hard boiled eggs 2.Bubblewrap 3.Cottenelle toilet paper 4.Bownty paper towels. 5.3 rubber bands. 6.The Computer.

4. T HE P ROCEDURES 1.Buy Bubble Wrap. 2.Bring in Cottenelle toilet paper. 3.Bring in Bounty paper towels. 4. Bring in nine hard boiled eggs & 3 rubber bands 5.Wrap the eggs in paper towels, toilet paper, and bubble wrap with 12 square inches of each material. 6.Get a ladder and place it up 7.Climb the ladder and drop the eggs from shoulder height.

5. T HE P ROCEDURES 8.Repeat that step three times 9.Go in the classroom and check to see witch one of the materials out of all 3 trials cracked the least. 10.Make a chart of your results.

6. G RAPHED R ESULTS What protects an egg the best? Scale of protection 1=least 3=best Material used to protect the egg

7. C ONCLUSION My hypothesis was wrong. You see I thought bubble wrap would protect it and it didn`t protect it one bit. Toilet paper protected the egg the best. You see the impact was to hard for the bubble wrap. So when it hit the ground all the little bubbles popped and the egg was not protected but the toilet paper held through and protected the egg. You see I checked all the eggs and the toilet paper had a little crack but the bubble wraps eggs had busted open and there was no protection.

8. C ONCLUSION The paper towels protected the egg better than the bubble wrap. The paper towels were perforated. What we would do different is use more material like the bubble wrap maybe it wouldn’t crack as much.

9. A CKNOWLEDGEMENTS We would like to thank Mrs. Larsen, Patty and Delano Sarchet for the bubble wrap. We would like to thank Dave Arnold. We would also like to thank Julie and Steve Lach.
