  1. Any feedback you may have for the project if I was to do it again next year.
  2. Post pictures if possible (I've uploaded some pictures onto the shared drive).

Another project that i would like to talk about is the egg drop project. I really enjoyed this project because it was exciting to see what all of the work that we put into our little baskets really did. Mine didnt work but it was still cool to see them drop. For this project, we had to use only 1 paper cup, 20 straws, some cotton balls and a few popsicle sticks to make a basket that would eventually help our egg to not break when it was dropped form the balcony of pilalis. My design had the cotton balls on the bottom of the cup with cut up pieces of the straw on top of it for more cushion. There were also holes in the side of the cup where we put the popsicle sticks through to hold the egg in place. Our design didnt work at all and the egg broke when we dropped it. If i could make improvements, I would give the egg more room to move around instead of having it very stable. From this project, i learned that eggs break very easily on contact but some, if placed in the right materials will not break.
