Egg Drop Challenge- Iteration 1

Today in class we have started the Annual Egg Drop Challenge! So far we have completed 22 Achievements


Brainstorm
Cup in which the egg will go into
Egg holder without the balloons

Calculations

- We figured that our contraption with the egg was 55.8 grams, and the egg alone was 47.2 grams. Subtracting the two would equal 8.6 grams. So the contraption alone weighed 8.6 grams.
