1) Today (Thursday Feb. 13th) we met to brainstorm and decide what we would like our design to look like. First we thought of all the different attributes which might help our model perform its best. We drew ideas of what we believed to be these most important and effective characteristics.

2) After thinking about these different traits that we would need to incorporate into 1 design, we came up with our final model. We drew a blueprint of it explaining the different features. - We concluded that it would have a cone for aerodynamic purposes so that air could flow equally along its side and therefore cause the model not only to be fast, but also to NOT curve or flip (like tennis ball topspin example of unequal airflow).

- We made the design out of paper so that it would weigh less (a quality that is taken note of to win); and also to have less Gravitational Potential Energy, thus lowering the amount of energy that must be conserved when it makes impact.

- The purpose of the coned bottom is to crumple up absorb the shock so the egg won't break

- We added flaps to the model to help prevent it from flipping.

- We decided to add tissue or foam around the egg so that it would stay put once the cone hit the ground. If we did not do this, then according to newtons law of motion/inertia the egg would want to continue in the same direction and break.
