Oobleck Eghg Drop Roof

Non newtonian fluid egg drop protection ooey gooey science for kids i was looking for some fun ooey gooey science for the kids when i came to a video on youtube showing a non newtonian fluid being used to protect a dropped egg.

Oobleck eghg drop roof.

Oobleck isn t poisonous but it tastes awful. Usually this involves engineering a contraption to protect the egg. Half fill the ziplock bag with oobleck then place the egg inside. Wash your hands after.

Don t drop oobleck on a couch deck or sidewalk. Water and corn starch 1 2 ratio 70ml to 155 ml regular egg note i believe now after testing again from a shorter distance and failing that the reason for success is that it lands upside down therefore causing the oobleck to hold the egg up on impact and lower to the ground slowly and safely. Heights withstood by the materials material height polyethylene 1 5 m oobleck 7 0 m egg carton 0 6 m the oobleck package withstood a 7 meters drop whereas the egg carton package withstood 0 6 meters drop which represents an improvement in the performance of 6 4 meters or 1066. I was doing some experiments with oobleck non newtonian fluid made of corn starch and water when i noticed the oobleck changing its state from liquid to so.

It s hard to get off. If you find the oobleck a bit too runny add a spoonful of extra cornflour. Hold both large bags about 8 inches over a table. Place the other egg into the small plastic bag.

Close it up then drop it from a small height. Add the small plastic bag with the egg to the large bag that holds the oobleck and zip it up. Egg drop without breaking the egg the goal with an egg drop project is to drop an egg from a certain height and see if you can build or create something that will prevent it from breaking. I knew right away we were going to have to try it for ourselves.

Open up the bag and inspect the egg.
