Protecting An Egg

When starting to design our case for our egg we weren't too sure what to do but then Trey recommended going through the dumpster to find some possible supplies. We found a bunch of bubble wrap and a shoe box. We then stuffed the in in a bunch of bubble wrap and closed that into the shoe box. Just in case that wasn't enough Trey got a garbage bag from an R.A. and we tied it to the shoe box as a parachute. We didn't want to test our design because if the egg broke then we didn't have another one to use so we figured we'd just risk it and have our first run with the design be the one that counted. And to our pleasure our design worked when we dropped the egg into the leaves and onto the pavement; it passed both tests with ease.
