An Eggs-cellent Way to Plan !!


The activity which we performed in class as a group, our objective in that was to protect an egg in any which way so that if we drop it from ten feet above, it should not break. Also, the condition was that the egg must not be covered more than fifty percent. we all have limited stuff to protect it for example; an egg, around two feet of masking tape, eight straws and a scissor which must go around in all the groups in order to do whatever they want from this particular material from breaking it.

So, we all as a groups started our first step : we all discussed what we have to do with this limited material. we did make some models and trying to figure out how can we protect it in best way. Finally, we finalize one plan. (It's different story that we make some changes in the end). In Second Step : In second step we analyze our resources and take a look at them after asking prof. Kurpis so we best utilize them in proper way. Then, as far as I am concerned, I don't think we have done the Third Step because in our first step we finalize our model after making different kind of models. Now, comes the best part the Final Step. As soon as we get all the material in our hand. we give our model a fantastic shape. Instead, of cutting the straws, what we did is interconnected them with each other so that we don't loose more tape. And that tape we can use to protect egg and make our model more strong.

I think we did it in the best way. It was fantastic. we finished it before time and our UNBREAKABLE was the best model. It was very nice group to work with.
we drop it from ten feet above and it did not break. We got five bonus points. Yeah!!!!
