Total # of Achievements Earned: 26

Brainstorming -Create a sketch of one possible solution. Include labels. -Create a sketch of another possible solution. Include labels. -Create a sketch of a third possible solution. Include labels. -Use a decision matrix to justify the approach you chose. Material Prep -Generate a list of materials required for build day. -Document a plan to ensure materials are brought in on block day. Build Achievements Material Size: (your egg is not included in the material size) (air is ubiquitous and not included in material size. "Rare" commodities like helium are.) -Your materials fit inside a printer paper box -Your materials fit inside a shoe box Material Weight: (your egg is not included in material weight) -Your materials weigh less than 500 grams. -Your materials weigh less than 300 grams. -Your materials weigh less than 200 grams. -Your materials weigh less than 150 grams. -Your materials weigh less than 100 grams. Drop Achievements Drop Accuracy: -You hit the butcher paper! -You hit inside the third ring! Egg Resilience: -Your egg didn't break in any way! (awarded three times) -Your egg didn't break in any way! (awarded three times) -Your egg didn't break in any way! (awarded three times) Calculation Achievements -Describe an aspect of the event using arithmetic. (234g-149g)=85g -Describe an aspect of the event using geometry. A=pi r^2 A=36pi -Describe an aspect of the event using algebra. x + x + x =85; 28.33g per plate -Describe an aspect of the event using calculus. 1/2 a t^2; t=1.01s; integrate 1/2 a t^2= at; (9.8)(1.01)=9.9 m/s Other Achievements -Help set up the Bullseye. Ana did it -Come up with a clever name Mr. Olson uses for an existing Achievment. Don't Scramble the Egg (Egg didn't break) -Design an Achievement Mr. Olson approves for next year's Egg Drop Challenge. Use only one type of material. -Suggest a redesign to the activity that Mr Olson confirms he will use for next year's Egg Drop Challenge. Obstacles and challenges; like blindfolded drops, spots on the tarp that do not count for any points, AESTHETICS SHOULD COUNT

• Our "Friendship" and Joe's parachute worked very well. Since we had a secure padding and the egg was stable it didnt move on its side or anything which helped it not to break because the egg's side is the most vulnerable. That was the mistake with Colin's and his partner because they had their in a bunch of cotton balls but it wasnt as stable as it should have been.


• Based on the achievements you earned, how would you redesign your solution to score better? Be specific (sketches with labeling work well for this).
