Great EGG Drop

Today we where given the task to drop an egg of a first story second and third and see if we can make the egg survive.  we where given 6 drinking straw and a roll of masking tape. this task was diffcult because you get a very blande idea of rules therefore you get stuck into a very basic way of thinking.
Our group decided to make a parachute using the straws and suspend the egg using tape underneath the chute.
Our chute worked a little it slowed our egg down to safety from the first and second story however when the third hit the railing due to wind and that was our eggs ultimate down fall.

to get our basic idea we brainstormed ways to create drag and therefore slow the egg down.  then sketched our parachute ideas and used our materails to mock out what we where going to make it like and the best ways to do it.
Our group got on with the task at hand very well and had many ideas to add to our disscussions
