Egg experiment to demonstrate inertia
A simple and effective practical demonstration of inertia using a spinning raw egg.
When the egg is spun its contents also spins. Momentarily stopping the egg does not stop its contents from spinning. On release the egg begins to spin again. The contents of the egg resist any change in its motion.

Flight Test
This activity requires students to design and construct a payload fairing and vibration rig to test a protection system for a satellite (an egg). Students are given limited materials (this can be differentiated accordingly) to produce their model, the success of the model is initially measured by the egg not being...
