For my analysis‚ I chose a painting by Jean Ingres called “Jupiter and Thetis”. It is a reflection on the roman myth of Jupiter (Zeus in Greek mythology).

This made him a threat to many people due to his father being a very powerful man. During the Trojan war she was desperate to protect

The objective of our project was to design and build a contraption that would secure an egg from breaking upon impact from a second story window‚ and the contraption wieghing as least as possible while falling the fastest. We wanted to design something that would provide a lot of cushioning directly to the egg‚ and also provide extra cushioning to weaken the impact. After testing and submitting a design of just bubble wrap around the egg we found out that it will not be allowed. Due to this we had

In this lesson you will use teamwork to design a container that would protect a raw egg as it falls to the ground from a height of 8 feet. Your team will receive an egg and a bag of materials. You will be given time to brainstorm how you might construct a protective mechanism for dropping your egg without breaking it. You are only allowed to use the materials in your bag within the time frame allotted. It will be important to work well with your teams in analyzing the materials you are given and

Egg Drop (lab writes) In our science class we did an egg drop experiment. We used the scientific method to answer the question and solve the problem. Our question for this particular lab was “will an egg break or be secured‚ if covered with thick sponges and drop from ten feet above the ground?” our idea was to secure the egg from breaking and we wanted to design something that would provide a lot of cushioning directly on the egg. We came up with many different ideas until we choose

The Egg Drop Analysis 1. As far as researching goes I did not do many research besides videos I mainly saw a lot of sponges or big sponges use for people experiment and I in fact went with it and prototypes I used were mainly the same thing with some added cushion to it. 2. I forgot to take a picture but a good description would definitely be a can and thats wrap in cushion on the inside and the outside but the error I made was not covering the metal shock that will it takes impact it release

Egg Drop The purpose of this lab‚ was to create a device to help an egg survive the fall from a fire truck without breaking. In this lab I used a beer holder and cotton balls and a gel pillow to help the egg survive the fall. My procedure was to put a few cotton balls in the beer holder then I put my egg in it‚ next I filled the rest of the holder with cotton balls. Finally I taped the beer holder to my weighted pillow and it weighed around 490g. My results concluded that my egg hit to hard
