Isabel's famous egg drop project

My daughter's science project was to create an egg carrier that would protect a raw egg when dropped from up high. She carefully wrapped an egg in cotton and placed it inside a zip lock. Then she placed that package inside another zip lock that was filled with crumpled paper.

As a preliminary test, she threw the package out the upstairs bedroom window so it would land on the lawn...

So far so good!
Now it's time for the real test... onto concrete (just below the window is a concrete patio)...
