EGGHEAD EXPERIMENT: 
Aim: To test a hard boiled egg cracking when dropped from 1.5 meters high 
Method: 
1. use one medium sized ice-cream containor 
2. Put bubble wrap in containor 
3. Place wool balls on the bottom of the containor on top of where the bubble rap is 
4. sticky tape the egg to the bottom of the ice cream containor 
5. place sponge on top of wool 
6. drop egg in containor from 1.5 m 
Hypothese: I think that the high boiled egg will not break after have been dropped from 1.5 m hight because it has lots of support underneath it. 
Materials: Woolen balls, sticky tape, 1 medium sized ice cream containor, bubble wrap, sponge, 1 hard boiled egg 
Safty: stand back and watch out for the egg yoak. Make sure you do not drop the egg on anyone. 
 
RESULTS WITHOUT THE PADDING: The egg did not crack when it was dropped from 1.5 meters high 
This is because the gravity force that makes the egg fall hard to the ground and makes it splat 
 
RESULTS WITHOUT THE PADDING: Without the padding the egg shell broke when dropped from 1.5 meters high 
The gravity force makes the egg fall down to the ground but becaue of the padding the egg did not break. This is because the padding supported the egg and made the gravity force go in many directions instead of forcing it all on the egg and the hard floor. 
 
You may like to read the two results paragraphs out aloud - they are a little contradictory - but otherwise a good plan that has been carried out well
