Savannah L 2014 The purpose of this experiment was to test which eggshells were stronger, white or brown. The hypothesis was when the two eggs were bumped against each other; the brown egg would not be the first to crack. The main experiment was done in this way. A pair of eggs, one brown and one white, was bumped against each other and the egg that did not break first was determined to be the stronger one. The hypothesis was proven to be true and the brown egg was stronger than the white. Out of the six trials, the brown egg only broke once while the white egg was the first to break five times. The second experiment concluded a little differently. Instead of damaging the eggs with other eggs, they were hit by weights dropping down from different heights. From a drop of 6 cm, it took three hits to break the white egg while it only took two hits to break the brown egg. However, on a drop of 9 cm, the brown egg required two hits to break while the white only took one hit to break. Overall this experiment showed that the brown eggs were stronger than the white eggs.
 * TESTING THE STRENGTH OF DIFFERENT COLORED EGGSHELLS **
 * ABSTRACT **

Things that could be improved would be making sure that the whole egg is being tested on its strength and not just one part of the egg.In the future, another experiment that could test the strength of an egg is by doing an egg drop with the egg wrapped with cushions.
