A good absorber that can help is Styrofoam. We will use a container made of foam. Nylon or other stretchy materials like elastic bands can be used as a trampoline to protect the egg from breaking or cracking, by reducing the risk of the momentum the egg will be falling at. Water is also one of the safest options, so we will be filling balloons with water to be a trampoline like flooring. We also decided on how to hold the egg in place to stop all the movement that will be occurring during the fall. We do that so the angular momentum won’t really be in play. The shell also has a thin cover that helps keep out bacteria, dust and offers protection for the yolk and albumin (the white). An average-sized egg weighs approximately 57g. Of this weight, the shell constitutes 11% and the albumin is 58% and the yolk, is 31%. Normally, these percentages do not differ for small or large
