This popular classroom experiment is often used in physics lessons. The challenge: students are tasked with using everyday items like straws, paper and string to build a protective capsule for the ...

Many of us tackled the egg drop experiment in science class at some point in our childhood. But this former NASA engineer took it to a whole other level. The stratosphere, to be specific. And just ...

Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology studied the best way to drop a chicken egg to prevent it from cracking – vertically, or on the side. Now, we may finally have an answer.

Others, however, take the egg drop experiment more seriously. Advertisement. Hence the study published in Communications Physics on 8 May – although we note it was accepted on 1 April, ...

For the study, Cohen et al. bought 180 chicken eggs—Costco's Kirkland Signature brand—and conducted their own egg drop experiments in the lab. They dropped 60 eggs each from three different ...

I never did egg drop experiments in school--or if I did, I've completely memory-holed it. But when I began reading this, I assumed the conventional wisdom would be that dropping it on its side was ...

GRAND RAPIDS — An egg drop challenge... a bit of a daring science trick we will see if we can complete! This experiment will teach us all about inertia. Here’s what you need to get started ...

A few eggs from the egg drop experiment in front of the Great Dome at MIT. Eggs are less likely to crack when dropped on their side than when dropped vertically, a new study suggests.
