[...] he were in 5th grade, and he had to do the Egg drop? Heck with all that building and planning. His plan is to just chuck it so he could watch it [...]

We did this in school when I was a kid. The eggs were dropped from a helicopter and mine broke! Don’t use bubble wrap I guess.

OK. Thanks for the directions — I had no idea this was so common. Kim, I love your idea a lot. Now the big problem is finding a partner …

I have emailed my sons to see if they remember what worked well. But there are already some good ideas here.
Good luck!

My kids did this in 6th grade. Luckily, Dad is an engineer and he and the kids worked very hard on this together. They took a clear plastic strawberry container with a hinged lid, cut a piece of the foam stuff (ironically called egg crate) to fit base and lid, then carved out a nest for the egg. They closed the thing with multiple rubber bands and, Viola, no scrambled egg!

as I recall from HS physics if you can suspend the egg inside an egg crate container that is best -
