egg drop challenge

 Today we were learning about newton's first law, inertia. we experimented with an egg. all you need is a plastic plate, a egg, and a empty toilet roll. lets example it like this, we are like an object and gravity pulls us down but if there was nothing below us we would just keep going until we hit something. and when we set the plate and egg and toilet roll gravity pulls it all together with the surface as the stabilizer. to set it up first fill the cup just over half way, then put the plastic plate on top, then put the toilet roll on top of the plate standing up and put the egg sideways on top of the toilet roll. make sure not to swing your arm because it will go flying, so stand close to it and put your hand close, then slap the plate but not hard and don't swing.
