My final design consisted of three car wash sponges, one dish sponge that was cut up, and rubber bands.The three car wash sponges were stacked on top of each other and two of them had a hole made into them to support the egg and I also put strips of the cut up dish sponge on the tip of the egg and secured it with a rubber band. To top it all off I put rubber bands on top of the three stacked up rubber band to hold them together.
#2.) How was the design modified from your initial hypothesis to improve your results? The design was modified from my initial hypothesis to improve my results by removing the cotton balls to make the structures mass lighter so, that the ending grade would be higher.
#3.) What was the purpose of having multiple test drops of your structure? The purpose of having multiple test drops of my structure was to test how my structure would react to different sized drops.
#4.) Explain why your structure did or did not make the egg break. My structure did not allow the egg to break because it was supported securely by the sponges which allowed the egg to have cushion when it fell to the ground .
#5.) If you could change your design in anyway, what would you have done differently? If I could change my design in any way I would chose a structure with less mass and I would have also been more creative and created something better looking to match it's amazing results.
