Use a pringles tube packed lightly with tissue paper, wrap the egg in tissue until it fits lightly in the tube, fit some cardboard fins at the top of the tube
to act as a flight, then test.
What you do is take a plastic bag, then tie it to what ever your egg is going into.
The best idea is not to drop them; if you drop them, they might break.
Just use your creative skills and think of something
It depends. There are contests in egg dropping, to see how far an egg can be dropped or thrown. The dropping contest is a study in packaging the egg for the drop. So, if the egg is properly packaged, or dropped into, say, a haystack, it very well may survive the experience!
not empty but also not full tub of peanut butter
don't drop it
It depends on how far the egg has to drop. In High School we had to do 1 story, about 10 feet drop with only 1 sheet of 8x10 paper. The most successful projects involved a combination of an airfoil design parachute with some crumbled up paper under the egg to act as a cushion.
you use an plastic container because it is best to use when doing an egg drop experiment
Egg Drop Soup
The best way to do an egg drop s perhaps the simplest one. First take on egg,( I prefer free range eggs) then stand on a dinner chair and drop the egg. If you would like a bigger or different break try different surface like hardwood or concrete.
Use nothing
Siemen's egg drop is a experament, where you have to wrap the chicken egg in materails and drop it and hope it doesn't breah.
