The following photos were taken during the Conceptual Physics "Walking on Eggs" Project

The Challenge:

To design a pair of shoes that will enable one member of the team to walk on eggs without breaking them. They must actually have shoes that make contact with the eggs in the cartons. The design is based on students' knowledge of pressure, impact forces, and measurements of the amount of pressure it takes to break an egg.
