My science club did an experiment about dropping eggs. We covered ours in sheet cotton and taped it, and that worked fine. You could also drop a fake egg (maybe rubber) that wouldn't break. Also, some advice I got from lotus: Don't put the solution on the riddle, because many people can't resist it. Edited May 2, 2009 by ???

0 Guest Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 You could go to the moon. Put a parachute on it even though i am pretty sure that will not work from 3 feet. You could even go in a pool and drop it from any height and still not have it break. Hard boiling may not do it all the way but it adds durability. Back when i was in science class i got a short piece of PVC pipe capped at both ends, drilled a small hole in each end and stretched a nylon sock with the egg inside it through the holes and it lasted drops from the third story of my school but not the roof.

0 deannaart Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 (edited) drop it from a really tall building. it will go at least that distance without breaking. (And hey you might even get to see it hit something or someone... hehe) Edited May 3, 2009 by deannaart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
