Last week

Last week I went to a Physics workshop with Katie. We had to do an experiment where we had to drop a normal egg, an egg in a small, medium and large parachute, (all hard boiled of course).  But before we started we had to hypothesize whether the normal egg or eggs in the parachutes would fall the fastest and the slowest. We used a stopwatch to time each egg as it fell.  At the end of each eggs fall we had to fill out a sheet with the time and condition of the egg.
After we had dropped all of the eggs we had to write if our hypothesis was correct or not.

My hypothesis was that the biggest parachute would make the egg fall faster. But I was actually wrong because it fell the slowest.
Here are the results........
Control Small Medium Large
Times. 1.53s 1.70s. 1.69s 1.34s
Condition of the egg: Cracked. Cracked not cracked Not cracked
