PRINGLE CHALLENGE

Purpose, Problem, Question.

The purpose of this assignment was to see if we could build a box that would be able to hold a pringle safely in the mail.

MATERIALS

• Plastic ice cream container
• Tissues and steamers roll
• Bubble wrap bags
• Pringles
• Packing paper, stickers, and tape

HYPOTHESIS

• IF,we put our pringle in a plastic bottle with cardboard and packing material,
• THEN, it will not break,
• BECAUSE, of all the extra padding!

IV, DV, MASS, AND VOLUME

• IV (Independant Variable): what packaging we use
• DV (Dependant Variable): whether or not the pringle breaks
• Mass: 70.86 grams
• Volume: 636 cc

DESIGN IDEAS

• Put the streamers roll in the sorbet container
• Then put a lot of tissues and bubble wrap in
• Put the pringle on top of that...
• Then more tissues and bubble wrap in on top
• Make sure to screw the lid on top

TESTING THE DESIGN

• We tested the design by dropping the pringle down the stairs to the garage
• At first the pringle cracked so we had to add some tissues and another bubble wrap bag
• When we tried to drop the pringle again it was able to succeed

MAIL DATE

ARRIVAL TIME

In conclusion if you pack something more tightly and keep it compacted together than it is more likely to stay safe and in one peice than it would with the object packed loosely.
