Egg Experiment

Today I went to a workshop with Alana. It was on gravity and inertia. Gravity is a force that pulls objects closer to the centre of the Earth. Inertia is something that continues in it's existing state of rest.

We had a cup of water about 3 quarters full, a big piece of plastic, a little tube and an egg. We put the tube in the middle of the plastic and put the egg sideways on the tube and that all went on the cup. My hypothesis was that the plastic and tube will move but the egg won't and it will fall into the cup. I tried it and I was right. We had to do that lots of different times to make sure that that's what was meant to happen.
