Egg Lander Mission 2

 Materials given:
- 25 straws
- Masking tape
This time, our group realized how important it is to have the egg farther from the ground so we made our lander with 2 square-based pyramids and a holder for the egg. We also supported the sides with straws to protect all the sides of the egg lander.
For the egg holder, we wanted it to hold the egg in place but we did not want the egg to be held too closely to the straws or else the drop will create tension between the straws and the egg.
After the drop, the egg had not survived the drop. Out group was very confident that we would not break the egg but in the end, it did.
We realized that the structure would not take most of the shock and therefore the egg broke.
