Egg Drop

This is the final project for our force and motion unit.  By this point we have discussed the concepts of forces, velocity, and acceleration, and how to calculate each of these.  We show that gravity causes constant acceleration.  We show that people can walk with a, reasonably, constant velocity.  We then ask if it is possible to calculate where you would want a walking person when you release an egg from the top of the bleachers, so that the walking persons head and the egg are in the same place at the same time...splat.  The group below proved that it can be done.
