Kim-
As far as I know, there aren't any directions per se to the egg drop 
experiment.  I remember  when I had to do it as part of a science experiment 
in 8th grade and as far as I can recall, there weren't any specific 
requirements. We dropped the eggs off of the roof of my school so, basically, 
anything you could do to prevent the egg from cracking was allowed. Some kids 
used very unique methods such as placing the egg in a box surrounded by 
Jell-O cubes, but it cracked anyway. I used pantyhose to suspend the egg in 
the middle of a perfectly square shipping box and the egg didn't crack. Good 
luck, hope this helps!
