Mission UNBREAKABLE
Introduction: Molly Millionaire has entrusted you with her most
valuable possession – her pet STUNT egg. This egg has done
millions of stunts for various commercials, television shows, and
movies. In fact, the stunt egg has a shoot for a new Mission
Impossible movie this week. For the movie, the egg will need to
make the jump from a five-story balcony without breaking. In
order to make sure Molly gets her egg back in one piece, you will
need to build a safety contraption to ensure that the egg can land
safely.
Directions: Use the Scientific Method to plan out the building
and testing of your safety contraption.

Introduction:
The purpose of this lab was to find a way to
___________________. We thought that by doing
___________________________ we could solve our problem.
In order to do this, we would have to collect the materials
necessary to create our hypothesis.
Materials:
We believed that by using
______________________________ we would be able to
protect our egg. Describe what each material would do to
protect your egg.
Procedure:
First, we decided what materials to use to build our container.
Once we decided what our container would like look and what
materials would be inside, we had to collect our materials and
begin building.
We built our container in a series of steps. Describe how you
and your partner built your container, what order you put
your supplies into the container. Once we were finished
building, we went upstairs to complete our experiment. We
____________________________ in order to test our
hypothesis.
Experiment:
Describe what you heard and saw during the experiment.
Data:
After dropping our egg, we opened our container and found
that our egg was ___________________.
Conclusion:
Once we had reviewed our data, we found that our hypothesis
was ___________.
Next time we would use ______________________ instead
because when we used _______________ it was too
_________________ to help protect our egg.
