Will these Eggs Survive the Impact? The Physics of Inertia

In this egg drop science experiment, Jeannine brings Newton’s First Law of Motion, also called inertia, to life. Resting on cardboard tubes above glasses of water, will the eggs stay still when the tray is knocked away? Inertia holds them in place for a split second before gravity drops them safely into the water. No cracks, just splashes, and a perfect example of how motion works in our everyday world.
