Make the egg protector

Preventing the egg from breaking

This week PPD activity is preventing the egg from breaking.  Few resourses were given by the conductor (the egg, 5 papers, a role of celotape) the egg were released from the 10 feet of height. The egg should be survived without a single crack.

During the task, first of all, we had a small chat and we planned the task. Then we decided to make a paper shell to the egg. When the egg falling down, according to active of weight, bottom or the top of the egg will touches the ground first. Therefore we put more papers to the bottom and to the top of the egg to absorb the pressure. Then we wrapped the whole egg by using the given papers.


 Then we added our engineering knowledge to that creation. We added few legs to the egg and we stopped the derect touching the ground when it drops.  Then we did something creative and we transformed our paper shield into a baby.


During the dropping time our egg is the only one could survive totally (without a single crack). Therefore we were the winning team for the day.


For our victory, there were some major points that effect a lot .
101.   We had a strategy to manage our resourses as well as to do the task.
202.  We thought creatively and innovatively through a engineering mind.
303.  We worked as a team and manage the given time wisely.

404.  We had a separate time to listen to everybody
opinions.
