It had to keep the egg safe whilst falling from the heights chosen. We all had a input in what it would look like in the final outcome & it looked near enough the same as the design we had all come up with. The top part of our desgin was a few strips of masking tape for the top of our parachute, we made it fairly thin so that it would float in the air like a parachute would, the second part we made was the straw area. The straws where attached to the egg in order to connect it with the parachute like tape we had made before, the was connected by taping the straws firmly into place. The egg also had masking tape around it almost like armour to protect it from the impact of hitting the floor. After dropping it from the 3 different heights we checked the egg & it had cracked but we think it cracked on the last fall when it hit the floor with a harder impact. Overall the task went well and i got on with the group i was in.
