The Egg Drop

In science today we learnt about the Egg Drop, what is wind but you have : a cup, plate, cardboard toilet roll and an egg. Fill the cup with water then put the plate over the cup and then on top of the plate put the toilet roll and the egg on the very top.

Hit the plate but don't apply to much force when you hit it or the egg will go flying across the room, but if you do it right the egg should fall into the water.

How it works - Newton's First Law, once the egg was moving, it didn't want to stop. The container of water interrupted the egg's fall, providing a safe place for the egg to stop moving so you could recover it unbroken. The gravity-pushed egg caused the water to splash out.
