The Bungee Egg Challenge

About Program Content Projects System Requirements Pricing and Ordering

Don't just drop eggs from heights to see what happens, use math and science
to find out. Do a fun egg drop activity to study physics. Learn the dynamics
of motion, energy, and materials. Use educational software to design your
bungee egg drops to rebound with knowledge and understanding.

Description: This is an excellent simulation of the design of an egg drop project. The relevant physics concepts of damping, forces, elasticity, kinetic and potential energy are described, and tools for interactive exploration of these concepts are provided in the program. After exploring these tools, the student can then use the insights gained in the "Egg Drop Lab," in which the object is to avoid a noisy splat!
