    The document summarizes an egg drop experiment conducted by students from the Heisenberg class. The goal was to design a structure using specific materials that would protect an egg from breaking when dropped from the fourth floor of a building. The student's group designed a prism-shaped structure made of straws with the egg placed in the core and wrapped with yarn for protection. They also added a parachute made of newspapers and yarn tied to the straws to slow the descent. When dropped, the egg did not break due to how the combined materials cushioned and protected the egg from the impact. The student learned about Newton's laws of motion through applying them to slow the egg's velocity and lessen the impact force.

    SECTION: STEM 12 – Heisenberg SUBJECT: General Physics I

    Last Friday, October 07, 2022, we, students


    from Heisenberg class conducted an experiment
    entitled Egg Drop. The goal of this activity is to
    ensure that the egg would not break or crack
    despite of it falling from the fourth floor of a building.
    In this experiment, students were tasked to design,
    evaluate, and test a structure that will protect the
    egg from the impact of its fall using 4 different
    materials which consist of a plastic bag, 10 straws,
    5 newspapers, and yarn.

    Our group has decided to make a prism-


    shaped structure out of 10 straws in which the core
    will be responsible for holding the egg. This way, the
    straws extend from each side so that the force will be
    distributed primarily along the straws’ direction, and
    little will be applied to the egg. The egg was placed
    in the core of the structure, and it was wrapped with
    yarn for extra protection. This would help on
    absorbing the impact so that damage to the egg
    would be lessened. Moreover, a parachute that was
    tied to the extended
    straws of the prism was also designed using
    newspapers and yarn to slow down the descent
    speed. This is due to the newspaper's increased
    surface area, which forces it to push against more air
    as it falls, increasing air resistance and slowing the
    egg’s fall as a result. Due to the combined range of
    materials utilized to create a structure that will
    protect and cushion the egg during its fall, it did not
    break nor crack despite being dropped from a
    significant height.
    Throughout the activity, I have come to
    understand that the laws of motion were conveyed in
    the egg drop experiment. The egg drop experiment's
    goal is to prevent the egg from cracking as it falls from
    a high place. Newton's Laws make it evident that
    students developing the egg carriers must either
    lengthen the period during which the egg is brought
    to rest or reduce the egg's velocity when it crashes in
    order to lessen the force the egg experiences at
    impact, in which our group has succeeded in doing.
    Moreover, I was also able to learn on how to
    formulate and test hypotheses as well as how to organize observations acquired
    from the experiment. All in all, the activity was engaging and challenging, I was
    able to have fun with my classmates while having the opportunity to learn and
    develop my skillset which includes problem solving, communication, and
    teamwork at the same time.
