I have done a search and couldn't find an answer... what materials do you send out with eggs for the crash test? Kids are to design a container to drop an egg in to simulate a helmet. Teacher has asked for bubble wrap, plastic straws (no longer available) and "any other material you've heard of being used for egg drops". It's 10 years since I last did an egg drop experiment and I have no recollection of what they used!

Morning Rosalie,
We give students 6 A4 sheets of paper (great for used paper) and 1 metre of masking tape. Teacher drops egg standing on a ladder (from approx. 2.5 metres high). Always interesting to see how students think!

This is what I've been asked for (minus the polystyrene cups) we replaced with paper cups

Thanks for the ideas - I have quite a collection of "stuff" to send out. It will be interesting to see what they come up with.
