Tuesday 4/14: Inertia Egg Drop

April 14, 2020 by Club SciKidz MD

You may have gotten excited when you saw the phrase “egg drop” again. No, we aren’t tossing eggs off the deck today. We are doing something that’s really cool. Again, almost cool enough to be a magic trick, but you and I know it’s science 🙂 Before we get started, we are going to do a little review about the laws of motion, gravity, and inertia. Because while your family will be impressed that you can do this “magic trick”, they’ll be more impressed if you can actually explain how you did it.

Gravity Song– Primary & Intermediate (K-5)

Newton’s first law of Motion– Primary & Intermediate (K-5)

Force & Motion: The Physics Behind a Car Crash– Intermediate (grades 4++)

Experiment Time!

Now is your chance to use Newton’s 1st Law of Motion (and inertia) to do a pretty cook trick. Materials: egg, large glass filled with water, a paper plate (or disposable aluminum pan), a toilet paper tube

A Few More Neat Inertia Experiments to Watch & Even Try @ Home!!–

Primary & Intermediate (K-5)

    We really like your videos and this egg drop experiment was really cool! Thanks for having easy experiments to do at home!

    Thanks for posting these every day! My 9 year old was successful with this egg drop experiment. The 5 year old tried 🙂

    Quick question – did you use a hard boiled or raw egg? Would it change the experiment?

      I used a raw egg, but I really don’t think it would change the results at all. It “works” due to physics principles, not anything to do with the egg. If you try it with a hard boiled egg, let me know.
