Question-Is it possible to drop an

egg into a glass of water without touching the egg?

Hypothesis:I think that the egg will crack

when it touches the glass (bottom of the glass)

because eggs are breakable.

Materials:

Cardboard tube

Pie pan

Eggs

Gla

ss o

f w

ater

Variables:Independent variable: the tubes length

changed

Dependent variable: when the tube got taller the effect was the

splash larger

1. Fill the large drinking glass about 3 quarters full with water 2. Center a pie pan on top of the glass 3. Place the cardboard tube on the pie plate,positioning it directly

over the water. 4. Carefully set the egg on top of the cardboard tube. 5. With your writing hand,smack the edge of the pie pan

horizontally. Do not swing up and don't swing down!It is important that you smack the pie pan horizontally and use a pretty solid hit, so plan on chasing the plate and tube.

6. Record your observations 7. Repeat steps 1-6 using each of the different tube sizes.

Procedures:

Tube sizeApproximate

measurement of water splash

Observation

4 inches Very small splash The tube moves

with the tin and the egg falls into the glass of water.

8 inches Tall splash The tube is taller so

the egg has a longer way to fall

into the glass.

VI ED OS

In this project we had an egg sitting on and toliet paper roll and the roll was sitting on a metal pie pan. We thought that the pan is the base so when it has pressure on it it

keeps moving as well as the roll but the egg just drops off into the water.

Analysis:

We learned that the egg will really drop off in the water

perfectly and without breaking. We also got to see an actual visual of newtons

1st law.

Conclusion :

All about Newton's first law.Newton first law states that an object at motion tends to stay in motion,

and an object at rest tends to stay at rest, unless the object is acted upon by and outside force.

We think that this project includes newton 1st law because our hands are the outside force pushing the pie pan and it keeps moving but the egg does

not have a force so it drops off.
