Break the Egg Lab Activity
Objective: Break the egg with the marble on the first try by
rolling it off a table and through 3 rings. Take as many practice
runs as you want, but you only get one shot once you want to
break the egg. (If you do this you get five bonus points to your
lab write up.)

4.
Come up with a question or hypothesis that you think you can prove. : ex.
hyp. The 3 equations of motion will predict the motion of a following marble
enabling us to break an egg.
Write down materials & procedures used and write down your procedure for
setting up the experiment and implementing the experiment. (Do not include
anything about calculations in this section)
Data: Use the scant information that you have to make a parabolic graph that
represents the position of the marble. We do not have time data so we will
just graph vertical and horizontal position y vs. x
Questions you will need to answer in your Calculations portion of the lab:
- 1. What was the projectile’s initial velocity?
- 2. How long was the projectile in the air before it hit the egg?
- 3. Find the components of velocity of the marble as it goes through each of the
three rings and as it hits the egg
- 4. What was the projectile’s final speed and angle as it hits the egg?
5.
6.
Analysis: In this section just justify your results using data. This entails
evaluating your hypothesis as true, false, or inconclusive and provide it with
actual data. One thing you might try proving is that the motion is parabolic. It
may help depending on whether you are arguing for true, false, or
inconclusive.
Conclusion: Summarize your results: Include important data that you got
from the lab. Talk about and name some sources of error. Talk about and
name any design changes or improvements you’d make to the lab.

Question/Hypothesis
The central question the lab is
asking is stated along with a
plausible hypothesis
The central question is stated
and something resembling a
hypothesis is stated
Only the central question is
stated
The section is missing or
contains the wrong central
question.
Materials/Procedures
The procedures are written
step by step in complete
sentences and the materials
are clearly listed.
The procedures and materials
are listed but unorganized. The
procedure does not explain the
lab
Either the procedures or the
materials are incomplete.
Only procedures are present,
or only materials are present.
Data Collection
The lab contains a table and a
graph that represents the data
accurately and is labeled
correctly with the equation of
the line written.
The lab contains a table and a
graph but it may be missing
some labels and the graph may
not be done correctly.
The lab is missing a graph
completely.
The data is incomplete.
Calculations
Students have all calculations
completed, with work shown,
and they are correct.
Students have all calculations
completed and at least half are
done correctly and all work is
shown.
Students do not have all
calculations completed, and
little work is shown.
Calculations section is mostly
or entirely missing.
Analysis
The student gives evidence
from their lab data why their
hypothesis is true, false, or
inconclusive. The discuss the
relationships between the
variables that were graphed
and if linear they write down
the equation of the line.
The students gives evidence
from their lab data and
attempts to prove that the
hypothesis is false, true or
inconclusive, but the data is
misapplied and doesn’t support
their claim. For linear graphs,
no equation is given.
This section discusses whether
the hypothesis is true,
inconclusive, or false but no
data is used to support the
hypothesis and any reference
to the graph or the data is too
general to be helpful.
This section is omitted or the
student may mention the
hypothesis and its validity, but
doesn’t explain or the
explanation is not plausible
Conclusion
The conclusion includes a
summary of your lab results,
(which will include numbers or
equations), gives %error and
discusses sources of error. It
also gives a suggestion about
how to improve the lab.
The conclusion includes a
summary of your lab results. It

Either and least 1 source of
error discussed or a suggestion
is given to improve the lab.
The conclusion includes a
summary and either % error, or
mentions types of error, or
mentions improving the
experiment.
The conclusion is omitted or
only includes a brief summary.
