Results

Trial 1

Trial 2

Egg survived but needs more softening

Package worked perfectly

Conclusion

• My hypothesis was proven correct because my egg survived the drop. The results indicate that my hypothesis was correct. There were no sources of error that I was aware of. Because of this experiment I learned that the simpler packages work best, for example I compared results with a friend and her package had a parashute and her egg broke so simpler things work best. If I were to do this experiment again I would stuff in more newspaper so that the egg is more protected.
