The egg drop contest is an experiment usually performed by college or primary school students. Competitors typically attempt to create a device that can keep a raw chicken egg intact when dropped from a height. Students are asked to build a device made from a limited amount of materials to support an egg when dropped from various heights.
Naked Egg Drop
Eggs that are naked dropping it low while they are naked. 1. you get a chicken and stick your hand up and do the "wobble" 2. then you take off your clothess and jump off the roof of your house 3. you watch dirty egg movies and have fun
Egg Hurl
A common variation on the Egg Drop competition is the Egg Hurl competition, where the containers are hurled by a device such as a trebuchet or air cannon. This variation is often used by schools that lack tall structures from which to drop the containers.[1] [2] The Egg Hurl variation adds additional difficulties to the design of the container, since it is initially hurled at high speed and has to cope with horizontal as well as vertical velocities upon landing. Usually the best way to protect your egg is with paper mesh. [citation needed]
Regional competitions
Often schools work together to make larger competitions that pit more students against each other. One of the larger regional Egg Drop Competitions is the Winston-Salem / Forsyth County Egg Drop Competition that takes place during Engineer's Week (late February) each year. [3]
Egg Drop is one of 18 events in the North Carolina Science Olympiad elementary competition. More than 100 teams compete in this annual competition. [4]
