This project will have the students build devices, made only of 8 sheets
of paper and 4 styrofoam "peanuts", to protect an egg when it is dropped
from a specified height.
On the drop day, the teacher will supply you with one raw egg to be placed
in the device. It will be dropped from the second floor. When it is retrieved,
you'll need to bring it back to the classroom and remove the egg in the
teacher's presence. Any sort of crack counts as a failure. If it survives,
it will be repackaged and dropped again. If it survives 2 drops, it will
then be dropped from the top of the stadium.
