Blog Post Week 5

1. The big question addressed in lab, and a description of what you did.

Why do we need to push a child to keep them going on a swing? The way that we tested this theory was by dropping an egg one meter and testing to see if it broke or not. The way my group tested this was by creating a surface made up of sand, woodchips, hay and saran wrap to design a surface that would be safe for an egg to land on without breaking. The first time we dropped it it broke so we readjusted our bowl by removing sand and adding saran wrap, which then the second test, it did not crack. This passed for one and two meter tests.
