Egg Lab Methods

A half dozen eggs were distributed to each team. The six eggs consisted of two medium sized eggs, two large sized eggs, and two extra large sized eggs. Each egg was labeled with a number and letter in order to keep track of it. Upon being distributed, the eggs were measured with a digital caliper to find their lengths and widths to the nearest hundreth millimeter. The lengths and widths recorded were the largest lengths and widths found. After dimensions were taken, the eggs were then weighed on a digital top loading scale. The weights were recorded in grams to the nearest tenth. The class’ data was then entered into a spreadsheet on the computer and the lab was completed.
