Re: Naked Egg Drop- Any Experience?

Hey! I did this for Science Olympiad back in high school. We won the regional competetion and placed fairly well at the state competition (Indiana), probably would have done better if my partner would have not gotten nervous and completely missed the target towards the end...

Anyways, we used buckwheat, like the inside of the Sabakawa (however it's spelled) pillow from back in the day. Wow. Add me to the list of "we're feeling old."


PS- a good and easy way to make an egg more elastic is to soak the egg(s) in vinegar (plain white will do) for at least 3 days. Just be careful and make side walls- it'll bounce like a ball (this was my 5th grade science experiment). Also, I never dropped the vinegar egg from higher than 3 meters, so you might ant to test that...

Good luck!
