back...
[FONT="Garamond"]Thanks :D Although I'm not completely done, I tested it off my roof... It worked pretty well, but the egg broke after a couple of throws.
Ok then, I'll check it out when i get a chance.
[FONT="Garamond"]My first idea...

inside...
[FONT="Garamond"]That's a good idea, except it's literally going to be thrown off the second floor, so the wings wouldn't really have enough time take effect... Thanks anyway.
@inutard: no egg alterations...
[FONT="Garamond"]So I've got another idea...:
What if i have my egg, put it in a sponge, stick dowels [outward] around the sponge, and put soemthing on the end of the dowels? Would that work?
-edit: Oh, this will be thrown from the second floor of the school.-
[FONT="Garamond"]Homework Statement
So, as you all know, everyone has to do an egg drop project sometime. Well, I got mine today. Yes, I know there are other similar topics, but they all the ones I found had a bunch of restrictions that didn't apply.
Rules:
-Any materials may be used
-no kits...
[SIZE="3"][FONT="Garamond"]Are you limited to only straws and toothpicks? If not, I suggest ditching the straws. I just got the paper for my egg drop (actually more like "egg chunk") project today, and the teacher showed us videos of last year's projects. The egg in the straws died.
