Naked Egg Drop, Division B
Mike McKeeDirector, Florida Science Olympiad
Naked Egg DropGoal: Design a package to prevent an
egg from breaking.This is an engineering event.Students should test and modify their
design prior to competition.This is an IMPOUND event.
Naked Egg DropList of Possible Materials:
Paper cups Drinking straws Popsicle sticks, wood splints, etc. String Masking tape Rubber bands Pipe cleaners Bubble wrap, Styrofoam 1 raw egg, large grade A.
Naked Egg DropWhen the egg is given to the student,
make sure they check for cracks before the judge walks away.
Students may bring 2 pairs of scissors, ruler and 1 pair of pliers ONLY.
Naked Egg DropDrop height:
Announced prior to construction 3-4 drop heights Students will move device
A plumb line will be provided.
Egg DropScoring: Greatest Height Egg Survived
(mm) – Height of Device (mm)
Ties are broken by time. Team with the lowest competition time is given more favorable score.
Egg DropBroken eggs are scored below all those
that do survive.
A broken egg is defined as one in which a wet spot can be seen on a paper towel.
Egg DropConstruction Hints:
Use crumple zones. (Sacrifice the package.)
F=ma – Impulse and Newton’s Second Law.
Use smart engineering. Go wide, not deep
