The (messy) egg drop

                                                The egg drop 

For today's experiment we did the egg drop, to do it you needed: 1 cup filled with water, a flat tray or plate,

1 egg and 1 cardboard toilet roll. 

This experiment  was about inertia (another word for laziness) 

first we had the glass filled with water, we put the plate/or flat tray on top of the cup, next we put the cardboard toilet roll on the plate facing upwards. Then finally we placed the egg gently on top of the cardboard toilet roll.

Then we had to hit the plate on the side and the egg fell into the cup filled with water!

I enjoyed hitting the plate on the side while the egg fell into the water.

I found it hard to aim the egg into the cup.

I found it easy to hitting the plate at the right speed and angle.
