In this article we will look at some interesting experiments and science fair projects
you can easily do with eggs from the refrigerator. You will discover that the common

There are a number of egg science projects you can do but I will mention just a few
here to spark your interest. I'm sure you will be able to think of many more by using a
little imagination.
The Egg Drop Science Experiment
For this experiment you will come up with a way to cushion an egg in a small
container so it doesn't break when dropped from a certain height. You can use
something like a small coffee can that leaves enough room for your packaging around
the egg to protect it from the fall.
You will need to do a little research to determine what might be suitable materials to
keep the egg from breaking. Lots of room to experiment here for sure with different
materials and arrangements of the egg in the container.
Do all your drop tests from a set height such as six to eight feet. Also drop the
container on the same surface each time to keep your results consistent. As always
with any science project, keep records of what you did and the results of each drop test.
The Crushing Strength Egg Science Project
One very interesting feature of eggs is their strength. That strength though is very
dependent on the orientation of the egg to the force or weight that is applied to it.
So for this expe
