For your blog, you need to:
* Provide a Name for your Report
* Explain the problem you were asked to address
* Describe and show (in pictures) your initial product (name, 3 design features) and provide an analysis of the first drop test
* Describe and show (in pictures) your improved product (name, specific design improvements) and address how your design improvements will affect the egg's chances of survival based on the idea the relationship between force, time and impulse.
* Report on the results of your second drop test.
* Provide an analysis of why your egg did/did not survive based on what you know about helmet design, crush/crunch zones, and the relationship between force, time and impulse (change in momentum).
* Evaluate the impact of your specific design improvements, describe the major problems that we saw during the drop tests, and describe any other changes you would suggest making in the future to improve your product.
