Egg drop competitions are a staple of high school and college physics classes. The goal is for students to build a device using bubble wrap, straws, or various other materials designed to hold an ...

It's a question that's relevant not only for kitchen mishaps, but above all for anyone taking part in the so-called Egg Drop Challenge. This popular classroom experiment is often used in physics ...

An “egg-sample” of physics in action at North Eugene High School brought students out of their shell as they put their own versions of egg crates to the drop test.

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, ...

Crystalyn Sperry, 14, is happy about her egg not breaking during the physics class experiment while James Petersen, 14, waits for his egg to drop Tuesday afternoon at Pocatello High School.

Students in the Enhanced Physics classes at Kaneland High School recently participated in the ninth annual Egg Drop Project. These Enhanced Physics students were given supplies (10 rubber bands, 8 ...

Foothill Tech’s physics students dropped their eggs this week at Ventura College (VC) for the annual project in physics class. With the students’ new physics techniques, they built contraptions to ...

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.

Friday was no day to be a chicken at Mandeville High. At the school's annual Egg Drop, 360 freshmen did their best to build a "vehicle" in which they tried to drop an egg without it cracking -- or ...

Eggs are less likely to crack when dropped on their side than when dropped vertically, finds research published in Communications Physics. Controlled trials simulating the ‘egg drop challenge ...
