Egg Transport Vehicle Analysis.

For this project, we had to design and produce a vehicle that would transport an egg across a ramp of varying heights without the egg breaking. Plastic bag, 1 piece of ¼"x3"x6" plywood, 2 balsa strips, 1 piece of oak tag, 2 large plastic wheels, 2 plastic straws, 2 small plastic wheels, 2 cotton balls, 1 plastic cup, 2 rubber bands, 2 birch dowels, 1 piece of sponge are materials we were given at the start of the activity.

In conclusion, I believe that we were successful in designing and producing a vehicle that would transport an egg across a ramp of varying heights without the egg breaking (thank goodness it didn't!). This project was fun, and I enjoyed doing it.
