PRESENTATION OUTLINE
The first step is to gather the materials. The things that you will need is cardboard, big marshmallows, hot glue gun, scissors, ruler, pencil, and duct tape.
To begin with you will need to cut out the card board for the box. The box will be a cube. First, measure with the ruler 12 1/2 cm long for the width, and 14 cm high for the height on the cardboard and mark that with a pencil. Use the scissors, and cut that out. All six sides of the box will be the same so you can use the first one you made as a stencil and cut out five more.
Once you have cut out all six squares take one of them and cut out a flap, or an opening. The opening will be 9 cm long and 5 1/2 cm wide. This is important so you can see if the egg is broken after you dropped it. Also, one part of the flap should be still connected to the square.
Next, take the hot glue gun, marshmallows, and the card board squares. First, take one card board square and 16 marshmallows. Use the hot glue gun to glue 4 rows of 4 marshmallows to the cardboard square. Do this for 4 more squares, and don't use the one that has the opening.
Now, you should be left with the cardboard square that has the flap. To glue marshmallows on this square line the marsh mellows around the flap, and glue four marshmallows on the inside of the flap.
Lastly, you have to put all six of the squares together with duct-ape. Use small strips of duct-tape to tape all of the squares together, and the square with the opening is on top.
Math
To figure out the mass of our capsule we took grams over 1,000 and then used this equation- 1/2 (0.5671 kg) (29.8 m/s 5m). Using these equations our final mass was 27.7879 J.
Summary
Our capsule did very good in the end. The egg never broke and we made it 5 meters. Unfortunately our group lost because our mass was to big, and the group that won had a smaller mass than we did.
