Ok, so in Physics we're doing this project with projectile motion and we're launching eggs and taking all this data. So it's due tomorrow, and my parenter and I don't have a launcher. She's been in a play, I didn't hear about it till Tuesday, we could never get an idea together. So now we haveta come up with something. We're gonna use one of those elsatic exercise stretchy things and duct tape, I dunno something onto it to put the egg into. But now we haveta attach the exercise thingy to something. I can use hooks but ahh, I'm stressed out.

Suggestions on what we can attach it to that we can still get the egg into the air?

You should use a mouse trap instead...just glue or tape a plastic spoon on it to hold the egg.

Try make something that resembles a peg-gun for the experiment.

This reminds me of that Full House episode...except they weren't launching the eggs.

Well, my dad helped me. It kinda looks like a sling shot...except...bigger. And we used bungie cord.
