Procedure:
1. Get a partner.
2. Place the raw egg inside a plastic bag. Tie the plastic bag tightly.
3. Position yourself four meters from your partner. Your partner should be able to
catch the raw egg when you throw it toward him or her. The twist in this activity
is that both of you should move to your side when catching the egg.
4. In case the egg is not caught and breaks, you have another chance using your
partner’s raw egg.
Guide Questions:
What did you notice about the path of the raw eggs as it moved between you
and your partner?
How was the motion of the raw egg different from the other types of motion
that you have learned previously?
3. What did you think caused the egg to move that way?

Answers & Comments
Answer:
I can provide some insights based on the principles of physics.
1. When the raw egg is thrown between you and your partner, it follows a projectile motion which is a combination of horizontal and vertical motions. The egg moves in a parabolic arc, which means that it follows a curved path rather than a straight line. The path of the egg is affected by several factors such as the initial velocity, the angle of projection, and the force of gravity.
2. The motion of the raw egg in this activity is different from other types of motion because it is a two-dimensional motion, where the egg moves both horizontally and vertically. It is also a non-uniform motion, meaning that the speed of the egg changes at different points during its trajectory.
3. The egg's motion is caused by the initial force exerted on it during the throw, which gives it an initial velocity in the horizontal direction. The force of gravity also acts on the egg, causing it to accelerate towards the ground in the vertical direction. The combination of these forces results in the curved path that the egg follows during its trajectory.
