Matt Morris’ fourth-hour Physics class finished their egg drop competition on Sept. 16.
Students spent the week before the final event creating a landing apparatus to keep the
egg safe.
Supplies like cotton balls, skewers, styrofoam, and trash bags were used in the lab to
create a landing pad to cushion the unboiled egg.
The Egg Drop Lab is “A lab in which we create an apparatus to drop a live egg at a
height and see if it survives testing and several calculations,” said Morris.
Tessa Hoffmann, Cameryn Pollmann, and Abby Steinkamp had multiple successful drops
when they and the others in the class dropped the unboiled eggs from the press box at the
football field.
“We were able to design and construct a landing apparatus while calculating acceleratory,
momentum, impulse, velocity, and force to keep the egg protected,” said the team of seniors.
